Lyrics
I?m crushed by this evidence, trails of blood - I?m damned
Your kiss smells of caramel when I close my eyes
Now I can?t run away
Now there?s nothing to say - to stop your tears
But to wish you well
Amanda's looking far away now
She loves the things that disappear
From a fallen past in a catacomb comes a lonely tear
And a feeling that she?s craving
REFRAIN
Save me now
Don?t run the way the wind blows through this harbour town tonight
Now there?s something we can't feel
That tears us apart
In this old room
This same room
The ladies talk in muted whispers
There?s so many secrets kept ? look behind their eyes
When the moon is gone, gonna cast a spell
But she knows it's her - when the accidental child screams......
REFRAIN
Save me now
Don?t run the way the wind blows through this harbour town tonight
Is there something we can't feel
That tears us apart
In this old room
This same room?
