White Town The Death of My Desire song lyrics

Here my child

Rest your head on me

Cause I'm the safest man you'll ever meet

I'll tell you a story

I won't expect you to believe

About a boy who lost his reason to deceive

It's the death of my desire

While I grew up I hid behind a smile

I was never allowed to be an average child

And now the years have forced me to be a man

I find I can't go along with this meaningless sham

It's the death of my desire

I want to find a new way

But I can't make it on my own

I want a partner in crime

So I don't feel so alone

So come to bed

I won't disturb your sleep

Cause I've a secret I'm determined not to keep

I see you understand my point of view

You're safe because there's nothing I need from you

It's the death of my desire
