Midnight, and her eyes
|
Hide like kittens, new and wet
|
Mine are sinning hands
|
On her lying on my bed
|
|
The river still may rise
|
Wild and water take us both
|
Mine are sinning hands
|
Take our bodies, take our clothes
|
|
Bloodless moonlight, may my lady
|
Give her lovely skin and bones
|
|
Midnight, and my bride
|
Treads in distant water now
|
Mine are sinning hands
|
And my teeth have fallen out
|
|
The river still may rise
|
Though it took more than it gave
|
Mine are sinning hands
|
On a broken windowpane
|
|
Bloodless moonlight, like my lady
|
Gave me only skin and bones
|
