She said, You smell like winter
Can I keep you forever
How can you measure
Your love for another
Love was the desert in my hands
The driest lands of driest lands
Stood stark naked and held us we
The blackness in your eyes was stoning me
And words were only dying baby's breath
This was written in the dark
Where reason holds the reins
Where the pills that made you numb
Made you lighter than perfume
And heavy as the hail
I was your purchaser of silence
But the gas lit up the fireman
I pleaded for love and painted smiles
But the green grass in your eyes was awful light
A kiss has killed our guiltiness
Now I am singing in the dark
Where reason holds the reins, the reins
Where the thoughts that make me numb
Make me sadder than I seem
Now I am singing in the dark
Where reason holds the reins, the reins
Where the thoughts that make me numb
Make me sadder than I seem
When I laugh at some dead face
When I laugh at the empty space
