There's a red brick mausoleum
Beneath the elephant tree
She saw yellow hammers
She sat expectantly
She broke in through my window She lay upon my chest
Left her pack behind her then I was truly blessed
Tears of lust may fill us up
Until the sun shines in
To make a rainbow prison So that joy can win
Tears of lust reflect your lust Companions come and leave
Let's make a rainbow prison To make joy amongst the grief
She looks down on me sitting
Cross-legged on the ground
A little pouch of ashes She cannot make a sound
Another loss endured now It's too deep to fathom still
It's too heavy to just throw away There's no more birds to kill
Tears of lust reflect your lust Companions come and leave
But let's make a rainbow prison Make some joy amongst the grief
Such bittersweet reflection My companions come and go
But let's make a rainbow prison Make some joy through the snow
No more birds to kill
And I still hear her
Companionship of two decades Didn't have a wife
She loved the magic garden Threw out a happy life
Little birds but she was scared of rats Hedgehogs,
rabbits too And she greeted my return from work
And danced around my shoes
Tears of lust will fill us up
Until the sun shines in
To make a rainbow prison So that joy can win
Such bittersweet reflection My companions come and go
So let's make a rainbow prison
I hear her bitter luster still No more birds to kill
