[Verse 1] How can you always be late for your arrival? You know Id forgive you every single time Retreat, retreat, Ive fallen at the low tide Oh retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside [Chorus] In the end all you can hope for Is the love you felt to equal the pain youve gone through Are your eyes showing off for mine? Your face in my hands is everything that I need [Verse 2] The systems put in place, put there to protect us For you Id throw a lifeline every time Oh, retreat, retreat, Ive fallen at the low tide Oh, retreat, retreat, and meet me by the quayside [Chorus] In the end all you can hope for Is the love you felt to equal the pain youve gone through Are your eyes showing off for mine? Your face in my hands is everything that I need [Bridge] Bones, starved of flesh Surround an aching heart, full of love Oh, bones, starved of flesh Surround your aching heart, full of love [Outro] Bones, starved of flesh Surround your aching heart Bones Oh bones I watch as your eyes show off for mine I watch as your eyes show off I watch as your eyes show off for mine I watch as your eyes show off
retreat, starved, quayside, bone, aching
