[Verse 1]
I must leave this tainted place
Of slow and hidden pain
By all and any means
And all the past I shall erase
And never look again
On child's memories
[Chorus]
But if you'll have me, truly have me
Word unspoken, sight unseen
I'm new-born to be your lover
Word unspoken, sight unseen
[Verse 2]
Take my trophies from the rack
The medals from my chest
The walls wash clean
And all my life is on my back
And swiftness suits me best
I'm travelling lean
[Chorus]
But if you'll have me, truly have me
Word unspoken, sight unseen
I'm new-born to be your lover
Word unspoken, sight unseen
[Verse 3]
So I come to you a shell
Make of me what you must
And I shall bend
And what you need I cannot tell
But I shall sweep the dust
And patch and mend
[Chorus]
But if you'll have me, truly have me
Word unspoken, sight unseen
I'm new-born to be your lover
Word unspoken, sight unseen
Word unspoken, sight unseen
Word unspoken, sight unseen
