Mikos Emilíana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra

I stand there silent
Your hair a halo in the water
Ribbons in the slipstream
Two ships eclipsed in the harbour

Your body 's moving strange
Left by the waves to sink
Your milky skin, your blue veins

I never told your mother
I kept my silence
I left you drifting to fall off the edge
Of the horizon

We're only passing through
Keeping on the move
Surrendered to such weathered scenes
Whatever was, whatevеr will be

Don't you keep me herе
Just to have to watch you leave
Oh, how we grew entwined
You gave me your name, I gave you mine

I never told your mother
I kept my silence
I left you drifting to fall off the edge
Of the horizon
