Mud And Dark Lyrics - Cocteau Twins

Echo fell in love with the handsome narcissus 

Narcissus saw nymphs who adored him 

And wasn't ever raised to their affection 

"Is anyone here?" 

"Here here!" 

"Come!" 

"Come!" 

"I will die before I give you power over me!" 

"I give you power over me!" 

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves 

(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) 

Still repeating only what others have said 

(still repeating only what others have said) 

Naricissus leaned over a clear pool 

For a drink and fell hoplessly 

In love with his own reflected image

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Cursed through thought of futile desire to have his own affection 

In turn Narcissis slowly wasted away 

And didn't continue to love me 

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves 

(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) 

Still repeating only what others have said 

(still repeating only what others have said) 

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves 

(all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves) 

Still repeating only what others have said 

(still repeating only what others have said) 

And death, eventually, overtook him as he stared 

He's found a finger for you; "Why would you be so mean?" 

And she repeated these same words to him 

And Echos fleshes all were scattered about 

And her bones turned to stone 

Today, all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves

"Is anyone here?" 

"Here, here!" 

"Come!" 

"Come!" 

"I will die, before I give you power over me!" 

"I give you power over me."
