  • In the middle of the night, I may watch you go
    There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
    There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
    But I'd be yours if you'd be mine

    Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
    Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
    Watch me stumble over and over

    I have done wrong, you build your tower
    But call me home and I will build a throne
    And wash my eyes out never again

    But love the one you hold
    And I'll be your goal
    To have and to hold
    A lover of the light

    Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
    You spin me high, so watch me as I glide
    Before I tumble homeward, homeward

    I know I tried, I was not stable
    Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes
    So hold my hands up, breathe in and breathe out

    So love the one you hold
    And I'll be your goal
    To have and to hold
    A lover of the light

    And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
    There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
    There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
    You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
    But I'd be yours if you'd be mine

    So love the one you hold
    And I will be your goal
    To have and to hold
    A lover of the light

    So love the one you hold
    And I will be your goal
    To have and to hold
    A lover of the light Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
