You found her in your sleep, in your screams
in the amazing wreckage of your dreams you
carries her
to safety, to the shade beneath the trees
and sent a prayer to heaven
fell down onto your knees
you said if she stayed with you awhile
you'd write her name across the miles
but the clocks have all stopped
ever insect, wheel, and arm
and the sands of time have been blown away
blinding you with their charm
you scream At ll who'll near you
how such beauty came to harm
and you'll never know her laughter
her voice, her tough lips
as she fall apart before you
beneath your fingertips
never know, you'll never know
never never know her
her skin peels away in pages
of tiny printed words
that scattered on the flocks
of tiny printed birds
the pages come to fast
you lose them in the wind
catching word like love and heart
and dreams coming to an end
and you'll never know never know
never, never know her
never know what you lost
and never ever hold her
