All around us hang the gallows of lost innocence

Merely time to take your name

Before I take a part of you

And you a piece of me



I rest unassured that it will last for ever

And it goes on hurting all the time

You dress so fine

But I long to peel away those shells around you

Strip away 'til it's bare and all used up



My head is burning

A hand graps in searching

From somewhere void in you and me

But it just fumbles through the darkness



Another day comes to another ending

Another kiss seals another goodbye

We'll retrace our steps

Only seperately now



You spoke so enchantingly

Yet you let me smother your words with kisses
