These early days of autumn call for a beautiful song. How about something dreamily, hauntingly beautiful? Here is a live performance of Come Undone by Duran Duran. Enjoy! (Lyrics and original credits, below. Story to follow.)
Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I’ve been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for youCan’t ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can’t I believe you’re taking my heart
To piecesOh, it’ll take a little time
Might take a little crime
To come undone nowWe’ll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cryWho do you need, who do you love
When you come undoneWho do you need, who do you love
When you come undoneWords, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I’ve heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I’m feeding off your fingersCan’t ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you’re taking my heart
To piecesLost, in a snow filled sky, we’ll make it alright
To come undone nowWe’ll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cryWho do you need, who do you love
When you come undoneWho do you need, who do you love
When you come undoneWho do you need, who do you love
When you come undone….
