Richard Thompson – Cressida lyrics
Love that holds its breath for fear
Of scaring love away
I rush my lines
I care too deeply
O will she keep me
For idle games

I raise my eyes to see her there
Shining in a daydream
I raise my eyes
I see too much
I know her touch
What her touch would mean

I stare into
I stare into
The dying flames

Love that holds its breath for fear Of scaring love away I rush my lines I care too deeply O will she keep me For idle games I raise my eyes to see her there Shining in a daydream I raise my eyes I see too much I know her touch What her touch would mean I stare into I stare into The dying flames Explain Request ×
