Come What May
Marius Bear Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She left me naked in the grass, my hands by my side
She hurt me more than many times, from hide and seek to lullabies

It felt just like a second love left us all
The crises and the changes made us leave it all

But now you're back again, the years they fly away
You promised me you stay the way you used to be

But I just wanna know
Are you gonna let me down
When I'm old, tired, heading for the holy ground
No matter come what may
I just wanna hear you say
Will you lead me if I'm blind, will you scream for me
When I've gone away

Emerged out of conversations in the dark poured her drink all over me
She kissed me then ran away
Sweetheart you're my desire and all my needs
It felt just like a second love took my all
The dices in the hand I let my aces fall

And I just wanna know
Are you gonna let me down
When I'm old, tired, heading for the holy ground
No matter come what may
I just wanna hear you say
Will you lead me if I'm blind, will you scream for me

Yeah I just wanna know
Are you gonna let me down
Will you lead me if I'm blind, will you scream for me
When I've gone away
When I've gone away

Again the years they fly away
You promised me you stay the way you used to be

I just wanna know
Are you gonna let me down
When I'm old, tired, heading for the holy ground

No matter come what may
I just wanna hear you say
Will you lead me if i'm blind, will you scream for me
I just wanna know
Are you gonna let me down
When I'm old, tired, heading for the holy ground

No matter come what may
I just wanna hear you say

Will you lead me if I'm blind, will you scream for me
When Ive gone away
