Florence Welch

Quotes

• “This is a gift, it comes with a price.Who is the lamb and who is the knife?Midas is king and he holds me so tight,And turns me to gold in the sunlight.”
• “The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out;You left me in the dark.No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight,In the shadow of your heart.”
• “Time it took usTo where the water was.That’s what the water gave me.And time goes quickerBetween the two of us.Oh, my love, don’t forsake me,Take what the water gave me.”
• “Looking up from underneath,Fractured moonlight on the sea.Reflections still look the same to meAs before I went under.And it's peaceful in the deepCathedral where you cannot breathe.No need to pray, no need to speak,Now I am under all.”
• “You are the hole in my head,You are the space in my bed.You are the silence in betweenWhat I thought and what I said.You are the night-time fear,You are the morning when it's clear.When it's over, you're the start;You're my head and you're my heart.”
• “Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head,Dredging up great white sharks, swimming in the bed.And here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep,Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth.And, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I said?I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed.And, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?Did I build a ship to wreck?”
