When The Sun Hits
Slowdive · Catch The Breeze [2004]
Burn so fast it scares me
My game, please don't leave me
Come so far, don't lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins, under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (BV: hey hey)
Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
My game, don't lose me
Come so far don't lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she'll be waiting
With the coffins, under heaven
Hey hey lover, you're still burning
You're his song yeah (BV: hey hey)
Sweet thing I watch you (BV: burn away) [repeat 3]
