A Star Called Wormwood

when i woke up
her arms were around me
and i began to cry
with the eye that weeps for her
baby believe me
just believe in me

the sun that shines for you
you're so cold without me

darling please, wake up for me
and i swear that everything
will be alright for you
well i've been awake for so long
waiting for you to come to

to open your eyes
and see the sun that shines on you
your flesh is so pale with out me
but no matter how far
you go to get away
always know that i'll be there
waiting for you
to open up your heart
i'll wait for you
baby when you're ready

to bathe in the light
that rises above the gnarled oaks
that compose
the tree line of your soul
just open your mouth
and taste the sun
let it shine down your throat
you'll be drinking the truth in no time
but no matter how far
you go to get away
always know that i'll be there
waiting for you
to open up your throat
i'll wait forever
baby when you're ready
