No Knife - Feathers and Furs lyrics

softly as she falls, eva's come undone.

it's what she wanted. girl as mad as birds.

eva's come undone. it's what she wanted.

and when she comes undone we look away,

but i like the way her hair looks in this light;

like smoke and dreams

and ghosts that breathe

and fade to die beneath the first rays

of the last day.

oh, no it's over. when she's fast asleep she shakes

her head to wave the ghosts away.

her heart full of echoes, her head full of pills.

she wakes up in make up, in feathers and furs.

when she comes undone we look away,

but i like the way her hair looks in this light;

like smoke and dreams

and ghosts that breathe

and fade to die beneath the first rays

of her last day.

oh, no it's over. borne of tears in sleeping eyes

we severed hands that troubled time

and chased a dream that

lost its life forever in a song.
