Emiliana Torrini - The Golden Thread Lyrics

There, the chain is now perfect
I removed a knot as old as hell
It took me over and hour
Then an hour over that as well
Did you know of the knot?
It seemed symbolic, even supernatural
That I unmeshed the tiny thread of gold
Now nothing stills my hope
The sun and certainty will bring again
You private sound to my ear

Then Marilyn laid down on my bed
Marilyn and her big soft breasts
Marilyn put her lips to mine
Inside, Marilyn, you are mine
Out loud, I said I love you
Then Marilyn said it too
And Marilyn stayed
Then so did you
Then so did you

I apologized to your mother
Your face, I didn't mean to
I want to destroy you, to then heal you
Kiss you, comfort you, make love to you
The villain and the hero all in one
I don't know where it comes from
This thing inside, I can't control

Does he love you like me
Sometimes even dangerously
Does he make you feel safe
Is your love exhausted
He just there to still the current
It's a long lonely land without your hand
Or your hair and the silence over there
Don't marry him
Don't marry him

Then Marilyn laid down on my bed
Marilyn and her big soft breasts
Marilyn put her lips to mine
Inside, Marilyn, you are mine
Out loud, I said I love you
Then Marilyn said it too
And Marilyn stayed
Then so did you
Then so did you
Then so did you
So did you
