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
