Hurts "The Road" Songtext

The Road

Darling what’s your name,And can you hear me?Tell me why you’re out so late alone.The diamonds sparkle in your face I hold you,The gravel glistens black and red below.

Hallow, you drift into the night.Hallow-girl.

When I close my eyes, I see you,When I close my eyes, you’re here.In the dead of the night I feel you,When I open my eyes, you disappear.

The metal wraps itself around your bonesAnd when it penetrates you it feels cold.As you were born you leave this world alone,A stranger on an unfamiliar road.

That roaring engine sings you: Hallelujah.The broken headlamp lights your path to God.

Hallow, you drift into the light.Hallow go home.

But when I close my eyes, I see you.When I close my eyes, you’re here.In the dead of the night I feel you.When I open my eyes, you disappear.
