Under the Tongue Lyrics by Damien Rice

Music of Ireland: Welcome Home

2010

What are we doing here?
Why have we come?
Did we come for communion
Under the tongue?

There's a lot
There's a lot
There's a lot to unfold
In the dark
In the dark
There's a lot we don't show

Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me cold

What are you doing here
Have you lost your way?
Have you come to move close, dear?
Is something to say?

Cause there's a lot
There's a lot
There's a lot that's untold
This is not
This is not
This is not yours to hold

Cause your love leaves me cold
Cause your love leaves me cold
Cause your love leaves me cold
Cause your love

What am I doing here?
Is it something I've done?
If it's time for confession
Then bring out the nun

There's a lot
There's a lot
There's a lot I don't know
I forgot
I forgot
I forgot to let go, of your love

So leave me cold
Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me

Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me cold
Your love leaves me cold
