You hung me like a cape To protect you from the clay outside It swept deep over your green eyes From the windows we would stare As white cotton pushed so near our spines We could hardly see the ground As if nothing else existed In this grey blue dusty mist It contracted and expanded in waves I placed my hand over your head Swept away your fearful sweat that laid Like dewdrops on your pale bones You whispered my name As I shouldered your pain inside I said all is full of love We emptied our glass While the evening passed I will keep you close to my chest As we move on deeper down This maze of our own insignificant existence But with you in my spine I'll be warm inside We can soothe each other's worries And let the northern lights paint our minds You stared into my eyes And said 'all is black inside my mind Will you stay by my side?' I kissed your forehead and smiled I said it was destined from the first time I opened my eyes towards the sky So please sing for me my love Wrap your bright blue voice around my chest I'll hold the mirror of love Against the purple sun In a desert in some foreign land While we pour out our youth to the sea
