The Ballad of Messy Mave

Six shots of Fernet, several Stones I'm in deep A bruised and bloody heap asleep at my door How many times must I drink myself to death? Before I pick myself up of the floor One door closes and another it unlocks One door closes but a window it unblocks The mirror reflects Sometimes the darkness is brighter than the light Sometimes the moon outshines the night Lovers never die Often I've searched for the perfect words to speak I could not find my voice until you made my heart sing So long I've slumbered, but I've never slept as good As on those nights when I dreamt next to you Though darkness falls between us Nothing could dim our radiant glow No white flags hanging above the door One day it will be as if we were never gone Our red thread may stretch and tangle On through the fabric of all space and time In one thousand lives I'd choose you To soar through the stars forevermore
