Lyrics ~ Music Television
Your God may come to touch you
If He needs you around
He may call the undertaker
To put you underground
He come to you tormented
Erased to the brink
A lover leaves you early
A lover will not rise…
You’ve got to come, you’ve got to come
You’ve got to come, got to come
Simmering in silence, seeking refrain
It’s burning, speak to me, speak to me again
You lie awake tormented
Erased to the brink
A lover has left you early
A lover will not rise…
You’ve got to come, you’ve got to come
You’ve got to come, you’ve got to come
Come, come, come, come, come
Never wanting, seeking
Never wanting, never hoping
Never asking
Never holding, never preaching
Never loving, never hating
Never dreaming
Never touching never moving
No, no , no, no , no
No, no , no, no , no
No, no , no, no , no
No, no , no, no , no
No, no , no, no , no
Screaming for Emmalene
