Ever of faithless heart My only allegiance is song The flight and perch of birds Half glimpsed on secret garden walls Why must I always go When the going's only good? When the fight is overthrown I'm sorry darling, I'm no good "Stay in touch", he said As I descended the stairs Oh I still feel his touch It's travelled miles with me, I swear I poured rainbows down his throat Sweet as cherry, thick as rope He shook me till the touch light woke Until this sin was worthy, beyond reproach How can I redress A river run to the sea? It's too late to regret The one I promised I would be And though I act the part I feel I'm just a ghost Oh I still love my heart But my head's been turned by a restless ghost He drank whiskey, I drank gin Our words were caverns to dive in To trace the curve, to climb the arc This holy light, this precious dark "Stay in touch", he said As I descended the stairs Oh I still feel his touch It's travelled miles with me, I swear I poured rainbows down his throat Sweet as cherry, thick as rope He shook me till the touch light stirred Until this sin was flew like a brace of birds
