Buried her in cold cement
Cold comfort for the children
Crying out to dear mother
He says he is my lover

Since she's gone all he can do
Is stare at her reflection
There's nothing left to lose
Seventeen and on the loose

He sleeps soundly in the garden
Dreaming happy things
Wrap him up in satin ribbon
Only skin underneath

Time is stretching out forever
In crystalline dreams
Secrets whispered in the sheets
Lips and bodies lie beneath

Beloved, hold me close
We don't have much time
My love, before you go
Say you'll still be mine
