This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole

The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water

And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress

Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
