lyrics

There was an eclipse and I missed it
like so many instants
where I asked love to mend me.
But don't tempt me.

If it is to keep lasting
my heart has to start fasting.
I don't need no more enemies.
So don't tempt me.
So don't tempt me.

Madly I salute you,
and I want to reach through you,
but you'd be the death of me.
So don't tempt me.

Because I hear your song,
so slow and sad and long.
I'd be a wrong note in its harmony.
So don't tempt me.
So don't tempt me.

The devil ain't left me,
and the questions he sends me,
my angel she still prevents me.
But don't tempt me.

You are that eclipse,
and it's still so far to your lips,
and as it is I'm running on empty.
But don't tempt me.
But don't tempt me.
But don't tempt me.
But don't tempt me.
But don't tempt me.
But don't tempt me.
