Ah, the moon is scarred with silver And its face, too far to touch So pale in the branches Like a blossom in the dust Ah, they told me life would hurt me But they never said how much Cast my pearls back in the ocean Cast my blossoms in the dust Take this flower from your heart Your tears have turned it white with rust Let the wind strip the petals Scatter blossoms in the dust Love until you are empty Love until you love too much Love until love undoes you Makes you blossom in the dust
