eyes that say “I love you”

When the night has gone cold
And you're standing so alone
On the threshold of
The rest of what you know

When the fever has died out
Turned a flood to a drought
Left a chill inside
That's growing like a ghost

You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you'
You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you'
You'll be blind, you'll be blind
And I won't know you, won't see you
Won't need you, won't love you anymore

When the poison from the wound
Slowly takes hold of you
And the only way not to drown
Is not to fight it

When you're falling down the stairs
With your superstitions and grey hairs
On a helter skelter fall
To your demise

You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah
You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you'
Yeah, you'll be blind, you'll be blind
And I won't know you, I won't see you
I won't need you, I won't love you anymore

Oh you thought that you would never need
What I could have given
If you'd given half a chance

Start again from the end
From beyond where you've been
You can't wash away your sins
In shallow water

Cast a stone into the grave
Of the plans that you made
They can only go as far
As you can throw them

And then you'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah
You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah
You'll be blind, you'll be blind
And I won't know you, I won't see you
I won't need you, I won't love you anymore
