lyrics

You’re quite surprised by her kindness as she offers you the tower
Among the beauty disguised as garbage, she’s the lady of the flowers
And she’ll fill your heart with warmth while it’s hers that you desire
And the moment’s all you have though you’d wish that it would last forever

And she leads you to the water and invites you to sit beside her
As you imagine the allure that she creates with her painted, pointed fingers
And she addresses you as an equal though you know you’re far beneath her
For she shines a certain light that you’ve only seen when gazing upon the stars

And as you embrace her in that instance and mean to confess what you’ve been yearning
You turn your back to the thought in fear that you are not worthy
For you are but a stranger in her artificial desert
And as you hold her like a cradle in your arms, you know that you are completely satisfied

And the people watching’s perfect from your position in the darkness
As you drink from paper bags bought on a fraudulent thirst for compassion
And you’re right where you want to be for it’s she who sits beside you
And she walks you without her shoes beneath the lake lights and reels you into her world

And she lets you lie beside her and feel as though you are her lover
As she kisses the very hand of the arm that’s wrapped around her
And you don’t want her to leave you when it’s you who must be going
From some endless nights of song and laughter to your seldom dwelling in the valley

And as you embrace her in that instance and mean to confess what you’ve been yearning
You turn your back to the thought in fear that you are not worthy
For you are but a stranger in her artificial desert
And as she holds you like a cradle in her arms, you know that you are completely satisfied
