Ruins

Don't try to callThere are some bridges that burnBeyond recognition beyond repairDon't say you've changedThere are some forces that turnBeyond recollection beyond my stareWhen I feel the cold in the darkI know you're thereLong ago I was a woman in painA woman in needI ran to youLong ago I did not understandYou were making me bleedI ran to youWhen I feel the cold in the darkI know what you do[CHORUS]I will crawl through my pastOver stones blood and glassIn the ruinsReaching under the fenceAs I try to make senseIn the ruinsI know your heart has held its own fearIt's perfectly clearWhat they did to youIn my heart it's the screaming I hearI won't let them come nearSince my love knew youWhen I feel the cold in the darkI remember you[CHORUS]Night after nightI am carving it outI will carry it down to the watersideNight after nightI am hearing the soundOf wings that come beatingI will not hideWhen I feel the cold in the darkI will know why[CHORUS]But if I am to healI must first learn to feelIn the ruinsI will crawl
