Before the night is done
 My love and I are fleeing
 Running into the sun.
 Turn to fly, go away
 Little bird, please don't stay
 Fare thee well.

 Take up all your jewels and gold,
 Bury them away in the earth.
 Let your memory reduce them to dust
 But don't forget the knife that was thrust.

 Turn to fly, go away
 Little bird, please don't stay
 Fare thee well.

 Frozen kiss by the fountain
 Running into the sea
 Where shadows choose their horrors
 Designed for music.

 Turn to fly, go away,
 Little bird, please don't stay,
 Fare thee well
