Overcome

North light comes uninvited,
Through the window to where you lie.
Disjointed, dust and silence,
Quite at a loss.

I feel strange, I feel changed.
I feel strange,
Overcome, Overcome by you.
I fell in too deep,
But I learned to swim.
In an undertow,
I sense I'm giving in.
I feel strange,I feel changed.
I feel strange,
Overcome, Overcome by you.

I'm a little bit wiser,
I'm a little bit sadder,
I'm a little bit less, (you might have guessed)
But if you could be staying,
Tell me now, I think I'm fading.
I swear I'll never trade your life for a lie.

Overcome by you.
