Portishead:The Rip
From LyricWiki
This song is performed by Portishead and appears on the album Third (2008).
As she walks in the room,
Scented and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost well.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life,
I will scatter on the floor,
Disappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another line is over-oh.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
Scented and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost well.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life,
I will scatter on the floor,
Disappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another line is over-oh.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
