I'll Fall With Your Knife

Peter Murphy · Alive Just For Love [2011]

"To the crowd

to the world

you were so dry

and with a token bird I made

sent it to fly

right to your side

with a broken wing you sail

oh like winter in july

a barren river wide

I'll pray for the flood

to wash on you

it's here, I'll be with you



Well if the birds

can reach the sky

to this land

I'll be with you

till the sun bursts from your side

with my hands

I reach to you

when you think your chance is passing by

when you blow your moon away

I'll bleed like the reed

fall with your knife

it's here I'll be with you



to the crowd

to the world

you were so dry

and with a token bird I made

sent it to fly

right to your side

with a broken wing you sail

oh like winter in july

a barren river wide

I'll pray for the flood

to wash on you

it's here, I'll stay with you

it's here, I'll be with you

I'll fall..."
