Lyrics
0:05The Separated Twin
0:14You came by lighting a seasoned road
0:22Somewhere between a lie and a story untold
0:34With the wisdom of a father
0:36The hunger of a son
0:39The beauty of a young boy
0:41And the words of a grown man
0:44And I had nothing there to give you
0:47I was drowning deep
0:49My wish was long gone
0:52And my heart was asleep
1:00And while you turned I've had too many nights to dream
1:08Too many flames to dim and I saw you in him
1:20With the march of a warrior
1:22The blue blood of a king
1:25The short breath of a sailor
1:27And like a separated twin
1:29You were standing there before me
1:32With your effortless speech
1:35Pretending to be harmless
1:39Yet impossible to reach
1:44But this time you knew
1:48That the minute I walk away from you
1:54I'd take it all, I’d take it all
2:05I'd take it all
2:32So here we are unruffled and polite
2:40As I carry you on, into the night
2:51With the affection of a mother
2:54The hollow of a child
2:57The memories of a young girl
2:59Who's innocence has gone wild
3:02And I have everything to give you
3:05A lifetime to forsake
3:07But your heart is asleep
3:11And it's not mine to take
The Separated Twin You came by lighting a seasoned road Somewhere between a lie and a story untold With the wisdom of a father The hunger of a son The beauty of a young boy And the words of a grown man And I had nothing there to give you I was drowning deep My wish was long gone And my heart was asleep And while you turned I've had too many nights to dream Too many flames to dim and I saw you in him With the march of a warrior The blue blood of a king The short breath of a sailor And like a separated twin You were standing there before me With your effortless speech Pretending to be harmless Yet impossible to reach But this time you knew That the minute I walk away from you I'd take it all, I’d take it all I'd take it all So here we are unruffled and polite As I carry you on, into the night With the affection of a mother The hollow of a child The memories of a young girl Who's innocence has gone wild And I have everything to give you A lifetime to forsake But your heart is asleep And it's not mine to take
