lyrics

On the eve of our death we went on
Into the dark
Our bodies were mostly stars
We played games in the gravestones
Our blood like champagne
We passed over our bodies,
Covered in stardust
We carried them into your womb

And the west was the sun

In the west there is love
I kissed your face in the night on the beach
And your face was the sun

And your mouth was a tomb
And your teeth were the cuts on my lips
They were barely in bloom

She cries on the river
She cries on the bay
She cries in the sunshine
She cries in the rain
She cries when she dances
But she never dances
She cries on the plains
She cries on the plains

And her tears are the stuff of my dreams

I could walk on those plains;
I could strangle you there
And then forget your name
I could free you from pain

In the east there is sin;
In the east there is blood on a silvery pin
And your heart on a string
Other beautiful things

On the eve of our death we went on
Into the dark
I put your name on a tombstone
Took your name from a plaque
And on the eve of our death
We went on
