I couldn't utter my love when it counted
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
But my love was unmoved

Flood the light, the flame
Flood my heart, the light, the shame
Eyes as bright as my baby
Let's hope for the fight of my baby
The lights were out for my baby
But my love was unmoved

And the sights were as stark as my baby
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
And the nights were as dark as my baby
And your love was unmoved

And tell me if somehow
Some of it remained
The small fingerprints once yours,
So lonely in mine

Tell me maybe where your heart went
Where a whisper becomes a mocking echo of loathsome tears
Tell me why you had to live once
And nevermore twice

Flood the light, the flame
Flood my heart, the light, the shame
Eyes as bright as my baby
Let's hope for the fight of my baby
The lights were out for my baby
But my love was unmoved

And the sights were as stark as my baby
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
And the nights were as dark as my baby
And your love was unmoved

There, I sit to rockabye
The hands that have gone numb
So small, so sweet and innocent
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
But our love was unmoved
