Story behind the song
realising that something is often better than nothing - giving up on your ideals and settling for something far less than you deserve or desire can cripple your soul.
Lyrics
as I turn from myself
I turn towards you
let you take control of all I do
strip away all I've ever known
embrace illusions you've sewn
lead me down a long dark road
I'll follow
leave me on a long dark road
I'll wait for you
I've fallen - though not very far
I've fallen - to be where you are
It may not be love - but it's what I need
it may not be love - but it's enough
I may only be your amusement
discard me when you're done, I won't mind
dead leaves in the gutter in the rain
dead leaves decay until there's no pain
