Romance at Russborough
I saw you behind her trying hard not to look at her letter
Well we all feign disinterest when matters seem out of our reach
The actress, she spied you with coal-black round eyes
That she wore as dark diamonds for her nonchalant smile
And you defenestrated your gaze before it could be seen
Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
They found me on the hillside as skin and bone
I had lain there awaiting a price to be sold at
As damp was advancing the length of my servant girl sleeves
Now when you look I turn my face away
See I was only a prisoner of the portraits they paint
I pulled back the curtain to pry us together again
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
There's a roar rising through me that needs to come out
But I don't think that I'll ever summon the courage to scream
Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love
Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love
And if the flames dance round my face in this night
Please don't stand there blackened, please just stand aside
To collect my full heart from the ashes when passions subside
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
I've risen in silence to pull their flags out
And I've bled out my colours for every cause that they named
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
All these helium dreams are delusions of grandeur
It's not meant to be that we'll ever come round from our pain
Hold me down, lover, oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
Well we all feign disinterest when matters seem out of our reach
The actress, she spied you with coal-black round eyes
That she wore as dark diamonds for her nonchalant smile
And you defenestrated your gaze before it could be seen
Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
They found me on the hillside as skin and bone
I had lain there awaiting a price to be sold at
As damp was advancing the length of my servant girl sleeves
Now when you look I turn my face away
See I was only a prisoner of the portraits they paint
I pulled back the curtain to pry us together again
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
There's a roar rising through me that needs to come out
But I don't think that I'll ever summon the courage to scream
Hold me down, lover. oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love
Hush now, they're coming! They're carrying torches, my love
And if the flames dance round my face in this night
Please don't stand there blackened, please just stand aside
To collect my full heart from the ashes when passions subside
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
I've risen in silence to pull their flags out
And I've bled out my colours for every cause that they named
Hold me down lover, oh hold me down now
All these helium dreams are delusions of grandeur
It's not meant to be that we'll ever come round from our pain
Hold me down, lover, oh hold me down now
The shadows are coming to carry us out in the rain
