Bat for Lashes – Daniel

My Comments:

“Daniel” is the first and best-selling single from English singer Bat for Lashes’ second album Two Suns.

Bat for Lashes is like my twin sister: I relate to her otherworldly, mystical personal style more than any other current artist.

Lyrics:

Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under under our blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We’ll never be apart

And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Cryin’ took me to the darkest place
And you have set fire to my heart

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our love the tears crept
Just catch in the eye of the storm
And as my heart ran round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst?
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home

When I run in the dark, Daniel
To a place that’s worst
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
Daniel
I dream of home
