New Cross

I took the long way home, love
Over the shatter of bone
And cities of campfire ash
Stood in the dying light, love
Trying to make my mind up
Couldn't we never go back?

Time is all we need now
But it doesn't need our spurn
It feeds upon the cautiousness of man.

I don't wanna wait for a messenger to come
Lead us to the great white surface of the sun tonight.

And the donkey made through from the bell tower
And it came with a raft for the Black Sea
And shrouded my heart in a Golden Fleece
And I trampled hard coals to a diamond
Left from the deck of a ship in the dock low
To bring you this ring in an oyster shell.

I had the darkest dream, I
Can't get my conscience clean of
I burned this town to the ground
(Oh, that you didn't)
Resigned myself to wandering around.

I don't wanna wait for a messenger to come
Lead us to the great white surface of the sun tonight.

And the donkey made through from the bell tower
And it came with a raft for the Black Sea
And shrouded my heart in a Golden Fleece
And I trampled hard coals to a diamond
Left from the deck of a ship in the dock low
To bring you this ring in an oyster shell.

I don't wanna wait for a messenger to come
Lead us to the great white surface of the sun tonight.

And the donkey made through from the bell tower
And it came with a raft for the Black Sea
And shrouded my heart in a Golden Fleece
And I trampled hard coals to a diamond
Left from the deck of a ship in the dock low
To bring you this ring in an oyster shell.
