lyrics

Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin
Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin

Winter, winter, come away
Come again some other day
Don't raise the wind, don't rock the sea,
Don't take my love away from me.

Say your prayers to the moon
Nighttime's gonna be here soon
Say your prayers to the sun
Daytime won't tell anyone

Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin
Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin

She takes a step towards her love
He says "one step ain't good enough"
She cries out, "Won't you come to me?"
He says, "What kind of love would that be?"

The temple has come crashing down,
Let's rebuild in another town
And when that temple's set aflame
We'll learn to play another game

Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin
Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin

Wisdom comes, wisdom goes
Wisdom asks what madness knows
Demons play while angels sing
You and I dance in the faerie ring

Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin
Put another nail in the coffin, love
Put another nail in the coffin

Leave Love Out Of This
by Anthonie Tonnon

Anthonie's work is like a piece of literary fiction put to synthesized pop music. He is a storyteller in song quite unlike any other, spotlighting what might be otherwise considered normal lives. Aaron J. Shay
