In the trees The birds who sing They're echoing My long-lost lover's torment And, please, stop loving me So deeply I can't bear it Home You'd left behind When tumescent eyes Began coolly, blindly seeing That the way We lingered still Would never build With foundations cracked and heaving I miss the way You said my name As your hand explored my ribs And with teeth Still chattering From the cold, inclement weather Whispered sweet And reverently That you'd love those bones forever Now the ground will house those bones You loved the most That lay just beneath the surface Of the skin Still caving in From the toll of lives worth living And the wait at the pearly gates Was worth it for the beauty Of the trees Where birds will coo For me and you Whoa Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Say goodbye To you and I My sweet Versailles We'll rest our heads amidst the heather
