middlesex Lyrics

Believe that I live in my own belief

That my faith's in the one I see

She alone doesn't see through me

And she loves everything she feels

When I leave I feel her traces on my skin

Leading letters down a gentle avenue

I've travelled paths to war and tunnels into sin

There was nowhere I could go that wouldn't be you

Ask me gently, "Why d'you love me?"

Oh my lovely, I will make you see

Faith please return to me, I want to believe

There's a God - she'll repair my memory

Leave her face at the bedside for me to retrieve

My fingers starve when we're apart

Have you ever told apart a seraphim from a gentle sin

Ignore the eyes - be weary of the wings

Their gaze will take you off to sea and fathoms into sky

Then they release and watch you fall below while they still fly

But you'll be fine my dear, for you know how to swim

Though at first, you feel the sirens pull below

Do not fear, remember: You will live again

Watch her hand descend, lover please don't let go

Darling explain from where you came

Subject, your reign, worship brings me peace

Faith please return to me, I want to believe (Believe)

There's a God - she'll return my memory (There's a God, she'll return my)

Leave her face at the bedside for me to retrieve (Face at, bedside, for me, retrieve)

My fingers starve when we're apart (Aha aha)

(Aha ah ah ah ah ah ah)
