A light that shone, in these darkned rooms
Rooms I remember only too well
The backroom, the basement, the attic and your bed
Well it lies empty and inslept in, when you're gone I lose my head

The scent on the sheets, as I go to sleep
Under my nails from scratching so deep
A room full of lust, to drive me insane
Yes you linger in me, just like love and pain

Some nights you're a vision, that shimmers slightly in the rain
And other times you seethe and you course through my veins

You linger like love and pain (love and pain)
That scarlet holy stain
Yes you linger like love and pain
Love and pain

My body aches to breath your breath
With your words you keep me alive
Nothing between us but nakedness
While you suck my lifeblood through your crazy eyes

Some nights you're a vision, that shimmers slightly in the rain
And other times you seethe and you course through my veins

Yes you linger like love and pain (love and pain)
That scarlet holy stain
Yes you linger like love and pain
Yes you linger like love and pain

Some nights you're a vision, that shimmers slightly in the rain
And other times you seethe and you course through my veins

Yes you linger like love and pain
That scarlet holy stain
Yes you linger like love and pain
Love and pain
Well you linger like love and pain
Love and pain
Love and pain...
