about

Dedicated to John’s plan Z.

lyrics

I’d take one whole year of sadness
Just for one whole day with you
One whole year of pain
Just for one night next to you
Give me a long and lonely winter
Just for one spring day with you
And if my gut never stops aching
I don’t care and I speak the truth

And when it’s time to go
I swear I won’t hold on to you

I’d take one whole year of cold
Just for a moment in the warmth of your glow
A year of needles in my skin
Just for one day in the world, that you are living in
Give me a year of walking in the rain
Just to hear you say you want me once again
Ah my heart is dripping off my sleeve
But my head is on my shoulders and I need you to believe that..

When it's time to go
I swear I won't hold on to you

I actually wept when lying beneath me in your bed
I saw beauty like I’d never seen before
You’re brimming o’er with life
Colour flooding from your eyes
It’s the colour of the kingfisher in flight

And when it's time to go, I swear…

I’d take a year of early mornings
Just for one long lie with you
No I won’t heed your warning
I won’t hold it all inside
For I would surely die
I’d take a year being hungry for you kiss
And when you’re wandering the world
Know that you’ll be missed
And if my heart never stops breakin
I’ll survive

And when it’s time to go
I swear I won't hold onto you
