| when you told me | |
| you heard the winds cry | |
| and then you told me | |
| you felt the seas die | |
| and then you showed me | |
| the flight of seagulls | |
| and whispered gently | |
| the party's over | |
| then | |
| then i knew it was time | |
| you looked so tired then | |
| bereft of beauty | |
| i knew that long ago | |
| your heart had stopped | |
| but all this beauty | |
| but all these shadows | |
| as if to say yes | |
| to life was pointless | |
| and then | |
| then i knew it was time | |
| in a small park | |
| just down from Soho | |
| you gestured wildly | |
| but meaning nothing | |
| and all the fountains | |
| shouted surrender | |
| and all the trees bowed | |
| at my betrayal | |
| and then | |
| then i knew it was time | |
| no words have substance | |
| no words are better | |
| than when i held you | |
| ragdoll defeated | |
| so drained of bright light | |
| so full of hatred | |
| with your soul crumbling | |
| bartered for flowers | |
| i should | |
| have told you | |
| it's just time | |
| and then we looked up | |
| urbi et orbi | |
| i saw the stars merge | |
| over St. Patrick's | |
| you said i am finished | |
| i am mist and foglight | |
| and slipped so sweetly | |
| into your grace | |
| if only | |
| if only it was only time | |
| and now it's eight years | |
| since i last saw you | |
| and all the starlight | |
| is now as nothing | |
| the letters all burned | |
| the kisses complete | |
| and all the coupling | |
| long forgotten | |
| and you long dead | |
| damned or forgiven |
