I came to him blindfolded in red silk,
A virgin's longing and taste of forbidden love...

I lay staring into starlight
as the moon drowns me in her waves...

Do you still look up and listen
In the night for me...

I've got a cheating conscience
Every age of myself is alive within me...

I'd never break your heart
not even for a moment...

There once was a star in my sky
That burned brightest in the night...

There are days when I imagine my life in parallel
You softly writing at your desk and I at the piano...

Tired limbs embraced in in the languid milk
of the still lake...

Like rain cutting through dust
Softly with echoes of old innocence...

We are like the tide
You the moon and I the sea...

I stare out my window, expecting to see something...
The ceiling fan above my head whirrs like a vortex...

Feathers don't last forever, feathers don't last...
Flying too close to the sun, the burning takes me...
