You hold a torch for your own torture
But I wish you held a torch for me
Coming around and seeing you down
It’s hard to watch your misery
Something fine in those colours
I saw behind my eyes
But your unrest leaves you lonely at best
It’s hard to know if this ever really touched you
Well I won’t be your Miss Nightingale
Won’t bellow wind into your sail
Your eyes love are so new
And this old soul can’t change you
So Peter run
Peter run
Peter run
