Hot skin in the night And the hour when the animals are born Crimes of passion are committed
Take me to the morning light Take me to your leader
It took a girl like me To bring you to your knees It took a girl like me
You were my heart You are my only heart But this cold air is killing me And as we make love The silence, the silence Trying to find a thread of a failed romance
It took a girl like me To bring you to your knees You take a girl like me
I strained my face towards the sky You put your hand over my mouth Oh take me, take me to the frozen north Skating, falling, falling down, down, down Into icy water
I'll be what you want me to be To bring you to your knees Your lover, your daughter We'll move in slow motion Falling down, down, down Into icy water You took a girl like me
I might never leave this room again Shut myself inside the old photographs Faded light of a young girl Patterns, shadows on the walls Painted ladies They look a lot like me
It took a girl like me To bring you to your knees You took a girl like me
