Songtext The golden thread Emiliana Torrini

The golden thread

There, the chain is now perfect
I removed a knot as old as hell
It took me over and hour
Then an hour over that as well
Did you know of the knot?
It seemed symbolic, even supernatural
That I unmeshed the tiny thread of gold
Now nothing stills my hope
The sun and certainty will bring again
You private sound to my ear

Then Marilyn laid down on my bed
Marilyn and her big soft breasts
Marilyn put her lips to mine
Inside Marilyn you are mine
Out loud, I said I love you
Then Marilyn said it too
And Marilyn stayed
Then so did you

I apologised to your mother
Your face, I didn't mean to
I want to destroy you, to then heal you
Kiss you, comfort you make love to you...
The villain and the hero all in one
I don't know where it comes from
This thing inside, I can't control

Does he love you like me?
Sometimes even dangerously?
Does he make you feel safe?
Is your love exhausted
Is he just there to still the current?
It is a long lonely land without your hand
Or your hair and and the silence over there
Don't marry him
Don't marry him

But Marilyn laid down on my bed
Marilyn and her big soft breasts
Marilyn put her lips to mine
Inside Marilyn you are mine
Out loud, I said I love you
Then Marilyn said it too
And Marilyn stayed
Then so did you
Then so did you
