The Golden Thread
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Then so did you

[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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's a long lonely land without your hand
Or your hair
And the silence over there
Don't marry him
(Marry him)
(Marry him)
(Marry him)
Don't marry him

[Chorus]
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
Then so did you
Then so did you
So did you
