Silas

Silas - BETTY WHO

Silas says he ll take me far away

You can tell he means it by the look on his face

Run until it hurts and every bird

is far behind us, my Silas

Silas says my name like it s a prayer

The quiet reference hanging in the air

And as for demons running round my mind

You ll never find us, my Silas

How could I deserve him

when I could never hurt him?

All that I can see is how kind he is to me

On the nights I cried til I can t breathe

Silas stays with me until I sleep

Hands that hold my heart so tenderly

Could never bind us, my Silas

I m hopelessly romantic

And hopefully he can stand it

All that I can know

Is I never want to let him go

Silas will be back for me one day
