Lyrics

Hearing you in my sleep
Feeling you, your cadence seeps
Whispering in flashback the specters of your memories
Fall in glistening showers
Such a tender descent
Intones this haunting lament
The sweetest chill
Fearing you but calling your name
Icy breath encases my skin
Fingers like a fountain of needles
Shiver along my spine
And rain down so divine
The sweetest chill (ooh)
The sweetest chill
A drowning so sublime
Spins in a heavenly climb
Calling you, tears thaw my sleep
Wanting you, this hoary web is weaved
From this strange confusion
Grows a perverse communication
It enthralls me and coils me around
The sweetest chill
Oh, the thrill
The sweetest chill (ooh)
The sweetest chill
Enchantment ebbs and whirls
The sweetest chill
Enchantment ebbs and whirls
Oh, the thrill
The sweetest chill
Written by: Budgie, Siouxie Sioux, Steven Severin
