Lyrics for Tender as a Tomb
With my heart in my throat And the sun on my face Lying here in your arms I know this is the place I would never try to explain how it felt when we kissed Courting reason in dreams while my body resists I know my logic can lose you But I think that we could get used to My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June My heart leaps over the concrete Oh, I live for you Each footstep over the concrete Tender as a tomb My heart leaps over the concrete Oh, I live for you With my throat in my heart And my face on the sun In your arms, I will lay 'Till my dreaming is done Buried under mountains of earth On the crest of a wave Courting reason in love is a terrible waste I know my logic can lose you But I think that we could get used to My footsteps over the concrete, blistering in June My heart leaps over the concrete Oh, I live for you Each footstep over the concrete Tender as a tomb My heart leaps over the concrete Oh, I live for you Oh, I live for you Oh, I live for you Oh, I live for you Oh, I live for you
