    Take a look at my body

    Look at my hands

    There's so much here that I don't understand

    Your face say these promises

    Whispered like prayers

    I don't need them

    Because I've been treated so wrong

    I've been treated so long

    As if I'm becoming untouchable

    Well content loves the silence

    It thrives in the dark

    With fine winding tendrils

    That strangle the heart

    They say that promises sweeten the blow

    But I don't need them, no

    I don't need them

    I've been treated so wrong

    I've been treated so long

    As if I'm becoming untouchable

    I'm the slow dying flower

    In the frost killing hour

    Sweet turning sour anduntouchable

    Oh, I need the darkness

    The sweetness

    The sadness

    The weakness

    Oh, I need this

    I need a lullaby

    A kiss good night

    Angel sweet love of my life

    Oh, I need this

      I'm the slow dying flower

      In the frost killing hour

      Sweet turning sour anduntouchable

      Do you remember the way that you touched me before

      All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored

      Your face saying promised whispered like prayers

      I don't need them

      Oh, I need the darkness

      The sweetness

      The sadness

      The weakness

      Oh, I need this

      I need a lullaby

      A kiss good night

      Angel sweet love of my life

      Oh, I need this

      Well is it dark enough

      Can you see me

      Do you want me

      Can you reach me

      Oh, I'm leaving

      You better shut your mouth

      And hold your breath

      And kiss me now

      And catch your death

      Oh, I mean this

      Oh, I mean this

      OK I can't sleep, so I thought I would share a favourite of mine. I hope any of you who are not familiar with her music will enjoy.

      ps. for an amateur video it is very good.

      Goodnight all ;)

        Downcast. Harrowing. Beautiful.

        I've never really followed Merchant, and this song makes me immediately regret that fact. I'm floored.

        Thanks for posting this.
