Duchess

It's your bicycle bells and you rembrandt swells Your children alive and still breathing And your look of loss when you're coming across Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding Duchess, Duchess Light up your candles for me Duchess, Duchess Put all your love back in me I come listening, I touch touching With the Persian sea running through your veins You shed your names with the seasons Still they all return with the last remains And they lay them before you like reasons With your shimmering dress it says no it says yes It says I've nothing left for conceiving It's your shiftless flesh and your old girls grace It's your young girls face that I'm breathing Duchess, Duchess Light up your candles for me Duchess, Duchess, Duchess Put all the love back in me I am lying she is crying
