Lyrics

VERSE 1

If only tonight we could sleep

In a bed made of flowers◉

If only tonight we could fall

In a deathless spell◉

If only tonight we could slide

Into deep, black water

And breathe, and breathe

VERSE 2

Then an angel would come◉

With burning eyes like stars◉

And bury us deep◉

In his velvet arms◉

And the rain would cry

As our faces slipped away

And the rain would cry

[Outro]

Don't let it end
