IT IS BUT A DATED FLOWER I BRING TO YOU



IT IS BUT A VIOLET GLISTENING WITH DEW



FOR IN OUR HEARTS OUR LOVE FOR YOU LIES UNREVEALED



A STALE ROMANCE AND THE SOLITUDE WE SHARE



HAVE DRAGGED YOU TO THE BEACH TO FIND ME THERE



EVERY PROMISE UNDONE GLITTERING IN THE SUN



IN THE GOLDEN SWAY OF VIOLENCE



THAT MORNING YOU CAME AND YOU STOOD IN DISBELIEF



IN LONGING AND SHAME - THE PRESENTIMENT OF GRIEF



TO FORGIVE AND TO DEFINE THIS TREACHERY OF MINE



YOU TOOK OFF YOUR CLOTHES IN SILENCE



THIS SWEET BLUE SECRECY, THE DEMANDS OF DESTINY



NOW WHO WILL SERVE YOUR PLEASURE, WHO WILL SERVE YOUR 

GREED?



NOW THAT THE MEN YOU TREASURED BELONG TO THE FLEET



AND WATCH THE MORROW’S TIDE, THAT FRAIL AND BEAUTIFUL 

BRIDE



WHAT A VERY STRANGE SEASON THIS IS



FROM THE TENDER AX OF SPRINGTIME, DEFYING THE SNOWS



TO THE STREAMING SUMMER’S HATCHET SHE ROSE



NOW ALL COVERED WITH LIME UNDER AN INDIFFERENT SKY



WE SMOTHER EVERYTHING IN KISSES



WILL WE KNOW ETERNITY? WILL WE FORGE A WAY TO SEE?



WHO WILL SERVE YOUR PLEASURE, WHO WILL SERVE YOUR 

GREED?



NOW THAT THE MEN YOU TREASURED BELONG TO THE FLEET



AND WATCH THE MORROW’S TIDE, THAT FRAIL AND BEAUTIFUL 

BRIDE



WHAT A VERY STRANGE SEASON THIS IS



FROM THE TENDER AX OF SPRINGTIME, DEFYING THE SNOWS



TO THE STREAMING SUMMER’S HATCHET SHE ROSE



NOW ALL COVERED WITH LIME UNDER AN INDIFFERENT SKY



WE SMOTHER EVERYTHING IN KISSES



OH, WE SMOTHER EVERYTHING IN KISSES
