All around us hang the gallows of lost innocence Merely time to take your name Before I take a part of you And you a piece of me I rest una**ured that it will last for ever And it goes on hurting all the time You dress so fine But I long to peel away those shells around you Strip away 'til it's bare and all used up My head is burning A hand grasps in searching From somewhere void in you and me But it just fumbles through the darkness Another day comes to another ending Another kiss seals another goodbye We'll retrace our steps Only seperately now You spoke so enchantingly Yet you let me smother your words with kisses
