Aphrodite’s Favourite Child Songtext
von Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Can you see me, falling
Into Aphrodite′s favourite child
Can you hear me, calling
Beyond the sirens screaming wild
And will you kill me, softly
With every perfect word you styled
Can you hold me, closely
Like a mother holds her dying only child


Can you take me slowly
To a vision of your promised land
And will you break me, gently
With the firm control of an expert hand
And can I kiss you, always
Spontaneously and unplanned
And will be the, only
One beside me at that final stand

Because you touch me, softly
And I will reach down deep inside
If you need me, I'll be
There when all the worlds collide
And if you′re waiting, for me
I will bridge that great divide
Because together, we can
Stand against that fatal drowning tide

Can you see me, falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite child
Can you hear me, calling
Above the sirens screaming wild
Don't catch me, I′m falling
Into Aphrodite′s favourite chosen child


Don't catch me, I′m falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite chosen child
