When the night has gone cold And you're standing so alone On the threshold of The rest of what you know When the fever has died out Turned a flood to a drought Left a chill inside That's growing like a ghost You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you' You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you' You'll be blind, you'll be blind And I won't know you, won't see you Won't need you, won't love you anymore When the poison from the wound Slowly takes hold of you And the only way not to drown Is not to fight it When you're falling down the stairs With your superstitions and grey hairs On a helter skelter fall To your demise You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you' Yeah, you'll be blind, you'll be blind And I won't know you, I won't see you I won't need you, I won't love you anymore Oh you thought that you would never need What I could have given If you'd given half a chance Start again from the end From beyond where you've been You can't wash away your sins In shallow water Cast a stone into the grave Of the plans that you made They can only go as far As you can throw them And then you'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah You'll come running with eyes that say 'I love you', yeah You'll be blind, you'll be blind And I won't know you, I won't see you I won't need you, I won't love you anymore
