Love In The Asylum

A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head
A girl who's mad as a bird doomed
Shot down from heaven's bed

Her arms once feathered can carry her no more
The oceans have disappeared
May I be her refuge in the envy of the word
Each time I hold her near

Love in the asylum
Bittersweet kiss
Come to me stranger
Rid me of this

Through delusive light on the bouncing walls
In trenches too narrow to share
Dying men of madness roar
Of burdens too great to bear

On madhouse boards worn and thin
By my walking tears
In the light of her arms she takes me in
And the walls disappear

Love in the asylum
Bittersweet kiss
Come to me stranger
Rid me of this

Love in the asylum
Bittersweet kiss
Come to me stranger
Rid me of this

Love in the asylum
Bittersweet kiss
Come to me stranger
Rid me of this

Love in the asylum
Bittersweet kiss
Come to me stranger
Rid me of this
