An examination of the link
between bonds of the heart and, well, bondage.

------------------------------------------
He asked a question, once...
...that I could not answer.
Will you walk me down?
Hold my hand tonight?
Will you stay with me --
I can't stand being alone,
Tonight.
Will you lock me down?
Hold my wrist tonight?
Will you stay with me --
Don't leave me wishing for you
Tonight.
Will you call my name?
Will you reach for me?
Will you stay beside me in the night,
or will the night steal you to
Dreams I'll never see?
This will pass away.
This will pass away.
Light will fade to darkness,
you will lose me in the darkness, darling;
Everything is grey.
What have I become?
Dawn or dying light?
Will you stay with me --
I can't stand being alone,
Tonight.
Lessons that I've learned
Hold my memory tight.
Will you stay with me --
Don't leave me wishing for you
Tonight.
This will pass away.
This will pass away.
Light will fade to darkness,
you will lose me in the darkness, darling;
Everything is grey.
What have I become?
Dawn or dying light?
Will you stay with me --
I can't stand being alone,
Tonight.
This is not what you expected.
This is not why you came here.
You are not afraid of darkness --
But why did I bring it here
When you are standing so near?
Disappear --
Nothing is what it seems to be.
Will you hold me now?
Will you hold me down?
Will you be the one who
understands that it's right,
Tonight.
This will fade away.
You will fade away.
Be with me, don't fade away
till this morning's light.
Tonight.
Will you call my name?
Will you reach for me?
Will you stay beside me in the night,
or will the night steal you to
Dreams I'll never see?
So many questions, once...
...silence was the answer.
