lyrics

The bridge ahead is burning and the way behind is lost
My lovers lips are smiling but her eyes are filled with frost
My weary heart is sinking it's broken as the dawn
That pours its poison light upon my faded uniform
Oh, and that pretty smile

I see you through the window beside that willow tree
Oh how hard that I could fall, how easy it could be
You could make me say it, but I've said those words before
All it ever got me was the wrong side of the door
Oh, from that pretty smile

Yellow sun go sinking and red moon on the rise
Last time I saw it swimming in those big brown eyes
But I will never be again the boy you left behind
The boy who shut his eyes for you, the boy who loved you blind
Oh, for that pretty smile

I know that you have suffered and I know you've had it hard
You did your time in paradise, you screamed and you got barred
A black wind then blue you all the way to me
And nowhere with you is always somewhere to be
Oh, with that pretty smile

For all that I have fought for and all that I have lost
For all that I've been breathing and for all the coins I've tossed
None of that matters half as much as this
Than wipe those weeping eyes of yours and give your smile a kiss
Oh, that pretty smile
