Dour mouthed and pale
Sweet rain is falling soft as snow
crying my blind love across her brain
she's walking through the night unknown

Softer than the sun
And smiling like its all been lost
Sapping all your energies
Watch out she's gone

Standing in the shadows
She is watching as her world just passes by
reflections of Medusa
cast in shards of broken bottles
rattle by

Maggot in your apple
She's the Papist in your Kirk
The deepest darkest spaces
Where all your terror lurks

Wrapped in hooded silence
Childhood is the pain that comes and goes
Hearts clash like electric swords
The silence of her room
It turns to stone

Bogeymen in ally ways
rain on sunny summer days
Over hills and far away's
Never coming back
