lyrics

Lathe of night failed you, I’m free
Hollow your shadow cast cold on me
Love’s snow it sleet, I betroth
To love’s splintered streets
Where the knitted-apartness of us sometimes meets…

I miss you, like a dead man recalls life
We had forever, seems it’s not much time

Architect of war
(lay down your gun)
With love’s holy oil
(lay down your pride)
You delight as I toil
(lay down your gun)
Crying, I watch your sweet memory spoil
(lay down your gun)

And I miss you, like a dead man recalls life
We have forever, seems it’s not…
Much time

Tick, tock, tick, tock
Goes the beat
Of a heart.
