Hannah Ost - Let Me Read Lyrics

Soft hands hold mine
Tall tales tell the tale of time
And she sits and she reads in the corner
With her glasses on the edge of her nose
And she's saying come closer come closer
And we'll go somewhere that nobody knows

She says love let me read you a story
But she says it with her mouth not her mind
She says love me and need me adore me
When I find there's nothing else left to find
But she's in a trance
And her mouth starts to dance
Saying something but nothing at all
Don't know who she is anymore

Soft words pull me close
Live long and everlasting hope
Cause she lies on the floor of the hallway
And the emptiness comes out of her eyes
She says fine go to bed have it your way
But I'll never sleep 'til I die

She says love let me read you a story
But she says it with her mouth not her mind
She says love me and need me adore me
When I find there's nothing else left to find
But she's in a trance
And her mouth starts to dance
Saying something but nothing at all
Don't know who she is anymore

Soft eyes meet hers
Closed prayer in embryonic verse
And she sits and she's still in the corner
And there's nothing on this earth left to lose
And I watch as I'm trying to warn her
As she screams this isn't something you choose

And so dear let me read you a story
And I'll say it with my mouth and my mind
She says love me and need me adore me
And I'll find you when there's nothing to find
But she's in a trance
And her mouth starts to dance
Saying something but nothing at all
Don't know who she is anymore
