Life gave me a love aflame It gave me your skin and breast Gave me your light and thoughts That now is time to waste, oh They would all do the same They would all do the same Cause it was great to taste There's so much light in you So many thoughts, like letters And they just wait to be mailed If you could only manage This trembling voice to behave And sing your heart out to them You gave me a shape and frame That I would never find A shadow and a name But I leave it all behind I had found a curious pride That now is time to lose A sort of glory by my side Now what am I to choose I feel a strange guilt and shame Reasons are unclear No remorse, doubt or pain But still the feelings, are here Is there someone here to blame Is there someone left to blame Maybe this life that gave me your skin Golden and smooth Your thighs your eyes Slender fingers and the back of your neck Gave me all I could crave But is it a fun game to play I mean, look at what we became There's a flame that is gone But is it the same for all I had found a curious pride That now is time to lose A sort of glory by my side Now what am I to do You gave me a shape and frame That I would never find Say a shadow and a name And I leave it all behind
