she says, `wake up, it`s no use pretending`
I`ll keep stealing, breathing her
birds are leaving over autumn`s ending
one of us will die inside these arms
eyes wide open, naked as we came
one will spread our ashes around the yard
she says, `if i leave before you, darling
don`t you waste me in the ground`
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
one of us will die inside these arms
eyes wide open, naked as we came
one will spread our ashes around the yard
