lyrics

"You always wore such the perfect smile, just like orchids..."

There's a hollowing friction between her eyes
That makes me wonder if she's alright.
Coz it's so damn cold out, but that's alright,
Coz it's so damn bright out, so that's alright.

And if she's going to Athens in the Spring,
Remember, I still have one of her wings;
I've hung it above the doorway that leads to my room
Like a tapestry made of feathers held closer to the moon.

And if I make it through the Winter I'll be quick to let her go,
To watch her fly across the ocean,
Away from sin, away from snow.
Away from all the barbs of a tangled past
And all the love that failed to last
And every piece of broken glass that was once scattered beneath her heels.

I'll stand here, I'll stay up late and wait
To just stop and watch at the Morning Star's first light.
And I'll let her light be and let myself sleep,
Peacefully.
