Your beauty pulses like a distant star 
Once you were so near to me and now you've gone so far 
Wretched and asphyxed the word is in his stone 
(Rigid and as fixed, the words, as any stone?) 
Lying now - no move, nor speak no statue here alone 
(Lying now, don't move or speak ... alone?) 
Living here just with a memory 
A simple recollection that's so dear to me 
You said it's logical that we should part 
What's pleasing to my intellect, must surely break my heart 

Man will always want what he can't have 
It's more than he can do just to be brave 
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways 

Born to live 
Born to die 
Born to wonder 
Why, why, why, why 

If you there 
Would you leave me wondering 
If you there 
I am one man under (I am one man only?) 
If you there 
Don't leave me wondering 
If you there 

You say that all we have is what we see 
Baby, all you understand is a little part of me 
You said that I could never be the one 
Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun 
If the only certain thing is death 
Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath 
And if this time must wear a velvet glove 
Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love
