Sighs

Flowers after frost don't know they're dying Gilded for an hour, they keep shining Stay with me my darling in this moment Accept this fleeting gift of perfect glory You, who've scaled the palace tower I, who've searched for a trap door Somehow we're parted in the silence of this night I still love your morning sighs The moth, she quit her toil of endless spinning To chance the lantern light on silver wings How I wish to find you in that darkness And hold you just outside the siren flame You, who've scaled the palace tower I, who've searched for a trap door Somehow we're parted in the silence of this night I still love your morning sighs Now our hearts grow wooly in their chambers Wearing thin, the years would make them strangers Let us knit their fraying ends between us And mend the broken spaces in the stillness You, who've scaled the palace tower I, who've searched for a trap door No longer parted in the silence of this night I still love your morning sighs
