We count hours, and we know days In the midnight, and we'll rise Till the sunlight comes Birdie Nights I come and welcome in the night Even though the kids already sleep I turn out all the light And shadow play becomes light I hold a lamp in my cold hands I gather breath in need I kiss a new mummy when she sleeps She never knew she was a widow I love you like a girl Loves his creatures I love you like an absolute Loves his object I love you like a child Loves to suck mom's tit I love you like a vampire Loves his bride Love is a sacrifice Love is a sacrifice Love is a sacrifice for me *
