SuperMellowMan
Echo a The Bunnymen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I be your one and only
Will you talk me through 'till dawn
Never felt so lost and lonely
When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
In the pool of my life
Kissing the ground that made me
Ancient rules wrong from right
Wish I'd found you when you could save me
When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
Your destiny will come too late
Can it ever be the same
Will we ever dream again
Walk through the sweet, sweet pain of love
No one ever broke the bough
The cradle fell anyhow
There's angels in the thunder clouds, above
When night turns into morning
And you don't know how long you must wait
As life came without warning
Your destiny will come too late
Kiss the ground...
