Come Into My Life
Billy Childish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you little child to rise
come into my life
I want for all our wars to end
and for you to come into my life
I want to walk out this door
and for you to come into my life
I want the world to begin and the world to end
come into my life


and when the day is done
and the night's begun
come into my life
and when the world is dead
and the sun don't shine
come into life


if the houses burn and the cities fall
come into my life
and if the world should topple and the stars should fall come into my life
there's nothing in this world that could stop me girl
come into my life
there's nothing in this world that should stop you girl come into my life


and when the day is done
and the night's begun
come into my life
and when the world is dead




and the sun don't shine
come into my life
