Cathedral Wall Lyrics

Curl up tight into a ball 

Curl my body against the soil 

Staring up here 

At the cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight 

Be a baby

Forget it all

Be a baby

Watch the quiet stones 

Massive friend 

Cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight 

A mother to the living 

A mother to the dead 

Silent as the moonlight 

I come to lay my head 

And I won't know you

Anymore 

The peckish evening rolls once more 

Into the ravenous night

Of hunger pains 

That keep our troubled souls awake

We are forbidden to explain

A mother to the living

A mother to the dead 

My ghost will drink the moonlight

Magic stones

My heart and bones

And I won't know you

Anymore 

She's cold 

She knows me

Cathedral wall 

She's cold

She shows

I borrow

Keep away 

Keep you away my love, my love 

And pray I might sleep tonight

The violence of my heartbeat 

The violence of the blood

I will sleep with the cathedral 

And, one day, you'll give up 

And I will love you

But I won't know you 

Anymore

My frenzied and exhausted mind

Will somehow find a way

To leave you for a time

Condemned to lieing

And lying awake

[These chains are all your own...]
