MY TRUE NAME

Into your eye line

Keep me in your sights

I asked about you

And how to get into your life

Like daylight

Through a stained glass window

Our colours run

Her voice sings

Like the Thames in the morning

It makes me strong

 

If you're looking for devotion

Then come to me

If you're fearing your emotions

You got to believe me that it goes both ways

 

Into your orbit

I will not be denied

I asked about you

And how to keep you on my side

If we are part of the same constellation

Shifting in the night

She whispers to me

"Don't waste the daylight"

It brings me round

 

If you're looking for devotion

Then come to me

If you're fearing your emotions

You got to believe me that it goes both ways

Lean on me, I'll take your strain

I'll soften the blow, I'll tease away

And I'll take on anyone That tries to mess with us

Your love should be good enough

 

From this day forward

You will call me by my real name

You must call me by my true name Today

 

Today
