Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
|
It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left
|
I received your words from hospitals where you felt alone
|
Your words like smoke, they made me sick but they kept me warm
|
|
Run where you'll be safe
|
Through the garden gates
|
To the shelter of magnolias
|
|
Your eyes are like sea glass, so weathered and worn
|
From all they've seen of adolescence torn
|
The lovers who have tainted you, they pulled you into the night
|
They touched your skin with velvet gloves and made you feel alive
|
|
Run where you'll be safe
|
Through the garden gates
|
To the shelter of magnolias
|
There's not much time
|
The blush in the sky begins to fade
|
|
You are weathered and worn
|
Your petals soft and torn
|
The fading color
|
You have bent your shoulders
|
To hold the weight of the world
|
You will surely shatter
|
|
Run where you'll be safe
|
Through the garden gates
|
To the shelter of magnolias
|
There's not much time
|
The blush in the sky begins to fade
|
