lyrics

Life gave me a love aflame
It gave me your skin and breast

Gave me your light and thoughts
That now is time to waste

They would all do the same
They would all do the same
Cause it was great to taste

There's so much light in you
So many thoughts, like letters
And they just wait to be mailed

If you could only manage
This trembling voice to behave
And sing your heart out to them

You gave me a shape and frame
That I would never find

A shadow and a name
But I leave it all behind


I had found a curious pride
That now is time to lose

A sort of glory by my side
Now what am I to choose

I feel a strange guilt and shame
Reasons are unclear

No remorse, doubt or pain
But still the feelings, are here

Is there someone here to blame
Is there someone left to blame

Maybe this life that gave me your skin
Golden and smooth

Your thighs your eyes
Slender fingers, the back of your neck
Gave me all I could crave

But is it a fun game to play
I mean, look at what we became

There's a flame that is gone
But is it the same for all

I had found a curious pride
That now is time to lose

A sort of glory by my side
Now what am I to do

You gave me a shape and frame
That I would never find

Say a shadow and a name
And I leave it all behind
