Unravel Lyrics
Björk
Lyrics
While you are away, my heart comes undone
It slowly unravels in a ball of yarn
Devil collects it with a grin
Our love in a ball of yarn
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love)
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love)
While you are away, my heart comes undone
It slowly unravels in a ball of yarn
Devil collects it with a grin
Our love in a ball of yarn
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love)
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love)
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love)
He'll never return it (when you come back)
(We'll have to make new love) ooh-ooh
