Song lyrics
Love, love is a verb 
Love is a doing word 
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsions 
Shakes me makes me lighter 
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my breath

Nine, night of matter 
Black flowers blossom 
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom 
Fearless on my breath 

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my...

Water is my eye 
Most faithful mirror 
Fearless on my breath 
Teardrop on the fire of a confession 
Fearless on my breath 
Most faithful mirror 
Fearless on my breath 

Teardrop on the fire 
Fearless on my breath 

You're stumbling in the dark 
You're stumbling in the dark

thanks for the lyrics- i hadn't been able to make out most of them, but they're some of the most beautiful i've heard. her voice really becomes a musical instrument, it wouldn't even matter if she wasn't singing anything!

I thought one line was "Tear drop on the fire, fade out at sunrise, pray" rather than "Teardop on the fire, of a confession, Fearless on my breath"....I hadnt been able to make out the last line though! I love this song, extremely emotional.

Stunning. The "Fearless on my breath" refrain is shiver-inducing.

This song has followed me along since I first hear and saw the video when it first came out. I've held it as one of the best songs through all time eversince. It's perfect indeeed; frail and ethereal, yet so distinct. This is one of many answers to why mankind appriciates music so much...

I could spend an hour thinking of how to describe this song and would probably come up with one word. Awesome, probably

This is a great song, but doesn't the lyric go "fearless on my pray"? I hear a "p" not a "b"...

Wow. When I first saw it today I needed to buy the CD. I am now addicted to it, and I don't know why it just makes you want to listen to it again. This is my favourite song now! I like the pure sound of her voice and I agree with that other person I thought it said pray not breath. Also it kinda makes me want to cry and the video is cool aswell. I could go on for ever and ever but I won't.

Just one minor correction I'd submitted...

The correct lyrics should be:
Water is my
Most faithful mirror


not
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror


If you listen to that part though I admit it does sound like there's an "eye" but I think that's just to keep in rhythm. Beautiful song, and understandably a favourite track amongst many Mezzanine listeners

Any of the Cocteau Twins albums are highly recommended if you enjoyed this song...

Personally I thought the first lines were

"Flower Flower it's a fact" >.
