Belle de Jour by Birds of Passage Lyrics
Moonlight, come and find me
Hidden behind my closed eyes
Draw your shadow over
The secrets of my two lives
MoonLight, please, I beg you
See through me and my distance
I dreamt I stole your kisses
I stole them while you slumbered
The romance I remember
Is simplicity
Have I killed the flame
Or just heightened my ideals?
This spring and all its blossoms
I give leave to get thе best of me
And cover mе with flowers
Till I've healed
I'm censored by the choices of the web
I've spun around me
But I fell in love with kindness
And he fell in love with me
So take me as i want to be
Surrendered under your breath
Naked, steal my kisses
And hound me to my death
This mask I wear is wounded
Like the soldier underneath
This heart I hide is delicate
And worn
Use me in the shadows
For the shadows bring out light
And love, my light is almost gone
Hidden behind my closed eyes
Draw your shadow over
The secrets of my two lives
MoonLight, please, I beg you
See through me and my distance
I dreamt I stole your kisses
I stole them while you slumbered
The romance I remember
Is simplicity
Have I killed the flame
Or just heightened my ideals?
This spring and all its blossoms
I give leave to get thе best of me
And cover mе with flowers
Till I've healed
I'm censored by the choices of the web
I've spun around me
But I fell in love with kindness
And he fell in love with me
So take me as i want to be
Surrendered under your breath
Naked, steal my kisses
And hound me to my death
This mask I wear is wounded
Like the soldier underneath
This heart I hide is delicate
And worn
Use me in the shadows
For the shadows bring out light
And love, my light is almost gone
