Heart beats on the fault line Of love and doubt and wasted time I'm not here to show you up, Break you down or change your mind There's nothing we haven't burned But still this fire makes no light and no heat I have been around the world Riding on the edge of something 'Til the dawn was weak
Come in darling, stay a while Stay away from God and thieves There is consolation in the human failure of our dreams Come around on the far side Of hate and hurt and misery With my arms empty Wait for you like soldiers at war Like the cross waited for Constantine
Come and let her hear The werewolves if she wants to Howling at the moon Waiting for the sweet, embraceable you Come and let her steer Against the tide with sad, slow tunes She might have a way out of here
You've been spinning here a while Down among the city lights Shuffle through the bright streets of St. Petersburg Summer white nights And I just wanna hold you up, Face pressed to the velvet sky So you can hear heaven answer Every question you've ever had, Save the ones you wanted me to ask
Come and let her hear The werewolves if she wants to Howling at the moon Waiting for the sweet, embraceable you Come and let her steer Against the tide with sad, slow tunes She might have a way out of here
She might have enough to fear
She is running away With the dust and the bones of the last crusade Reaching across these oceans and fields With a silent sway She is coming home on the last train From this fallen kingdom
Come and let her hear The werewolves if she wants to Howling at the moon Waiting for the sweet, embraceable you Come and let her steer Against the tide with sad, slow tunes She might have a way out of here
