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 'round 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 'round the yard.
