Tadpole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save a dance for me,
I'll take the card that's free
You're my kindred, my kindred.
Everything you'll ever need,
I give to you for free,
You're my kindred, my kindred.

Now I bind you to me

Now I hold you to me
Now I keep you with me
Always.

If you should ever fall,
Don't be afraid at all
You're my kindred, my kindred.
Though you loose faith in me
Faithful I'll always be
You're my kindred, my kindred.

I sense the need in you
You see the need in me
You're my kindred, my kindred.
If you should fall from grace

I shall restore your place
You're my kindred, my kindred.
