lyrics

The streets fell into silence
Tall, slender, in heavy mourning
A woman passed
With a glittering hand
Raising the hem of her skirt

I found her so beautiful in black
A widow before we even met
I wanted her for my own death

When it was that we first met
Away all the nameless people faded
I parted her painted lips
With a furtive glance
And kept them a part for all night
With a dreamy hand

I found her so beautiful in black
A widow before we even kissed
I wanted her for my own death

So quietly you touch the flowers
So softly you caress the trees
The hand that used to be so warm
Is now a hand so cold
And the woods stand so dark and still


As the wind ripples the wintry sea
Like the dying leaves of the solemn trees
In time all the things must pass away
But I whisper your name time and again
