The Separated Twin Songtext / Lyric

You came by

Lighting a season grown

Somewhere between a lie

And story untoned



With the wisdom of a father

The hunger of a son

The beauty of a young boy

And the words of a grown man



And I have nothing there to give you

I was drowning deep

My wish was long gone

And my heart was sleep



And while you turned

I've had too many nights to dream

Too many flames to near

And I saw you in there






With the march of a warrior

The blue blood of a king

The shore breath of a sailor

Like a separated twin



You were standing there before me

With your effortless speach

Pretending to be harmless

Yet impossible to reach



But this time we knew

At the minute I'd walk away from you

I'd take it all

I'd take it all



I'd take it all...



Here we are

Unruffled and polite

And I carry you on

Into the night



With the affection of a mother

The hollow of a child

The memories of a young girl

Whose innocence has gone wild



And I had everything to give you

A lifetime to forsake

But your heart is sleep

And it's not mine to take
