Across her body I fled
"You never knew" she said
All me listened, and listen still
"All things betray you" and I will

And in her hand sat my hand
Cold the sun and waters ran
As the deep called me up
I named her as my love

I wandered half, half the night
To cast a secret ring in fire
We’d been lovers only a short time
Yet I stood pretty in your mouth
You and the night slip by
You are incomplete without me
You were made great how men left you
A dying star, I almost loved you
