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 the night to cast a secret ring in fire We'd been lovers only a short time Yet I stand, 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
