Newborn - Elbow

7 minutes of genius, concluding with the rousing end of

Scream in the night
Kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me, shaking
Awake in the dark

All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars

Even and cold
As we both become older
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice
