lyrics

GOD'S CREATURES

When you wait till it's far too long
And your escape is tantamount to what you've been declaring
I'd hate to write you off
But I'm made like a pocket watch (tick tock)

I can't wait, I don't have all the time in the world
Don't be late, you don't want to miss the lifeboat
Not much at stake, if we failed we could be lonely again
But for a day fill my sails with your wind...

Your lover's breath, you are not alone in getting old
At your death, I could cry out to all the gods in the world, pleading
'No, take me instead' as my voice breaks
And I really wanted was for you to lay in my bed

When it's late and we're dumb in a blinding drunk again
It's our fate but heaven is for all of God's creatures, Amen
I know you for what you are and I'd gladly take you in
I miss my love but you could be my love till the end
