Sorrow's back in your eyes Pulling us to the deck
We could've lasted like planets But
your wave dragged us both to a dead
They've been sober around you And I truly believe it'll suffice
But you're an addict for torture And the sorrow is back
It's back in your eyes
The minor sonatas of Beethoven roll through
your hips But the words you are aching to sing are glued
to your lips
They've been burning the wrongly accused
While you silently dance
But your beauty was such that they all
gladly stood
In line for the chance
The amber around you has stiffened your thigh and your limbs
The earth fossil of love,
a relic, an echoing hymn
The purity that once you delivered dissolved into sand
Love
has escaped and is dancing
But you're unable to stand
You won't work off your depth till you're
stripped of your heart and your bone
The love that was once in your veins will dry into stone
The mist and the fog will dance in themselves to a wall
And you'll finally sing But I
won't be there
to hear you call
