Augustine lyrics

Artist  : Patrick Wolf 
Song : Augustine



 Send "Augustine" Ringtone to your Cell 

 As the bell tower blocks the summer light

All the seeds in our garden fight

To
break and blossom, all to be adored

And
look, your skirt is torn

And there's blood
on our sheets

As comes the long arm of the
law

Fist tight, banging on the door

And knocking me down on its way in



As I pass out into a dream

Of whooping
cranes and wooden beams

Great white wings
beating

In an attic, in a house, in the
dead of night

Singing



Oh, my
Augustine, Augustine

Oh, is this forever,
ever?

Oh, oh

Sweet Augustine,
Augustine

What does this mean for us?



Does it mean that I can never change my
ways?

And that's why, love, you shouldn't
stay

Still you will and love me

Like
a mother or a maid bringing you down, down

Down on your brazen knees

Watering the
worms and the weeds

Thinking, why does love
leave me so damn cold?

Now I'm getting
old

And is this what it should be?

Well, is it?



Oh, my Augustine,
Augustine.

Oh, is this forever, ever?

Oh, oh

Sweet Augustine, Augustine

Or do we kill this one tonight?



And now come the tears, heavy and hot

As
it comes clear, this is all we got

As I
hold you to my bed

Like a cancer, or a
curse

Now be my loving nurse

As we
fall back into the impossible dream
