Bat For Lashes lyrics : "Glass"

I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's broadways I seek

Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea

What did I find
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities

And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved

A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him

I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors

Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifled up the beam
With the perfect armour

With a perfect dream

To be made of glass

When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass

But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

And with two suns spinning

At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow

Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits

That just wouldn't seem

To be made of glass

When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass

But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
