Things in leaf and holy blow
And things turning over
You left the holy fields to pick up
Fag butts from the gutter
Wasted your chance to see
Venus rising up
Naked in the moonlight
Her face transfigured by love
The death in you reached into her
To strangle loves sweet sighs
You left her in the darkness
Your come cold on her thighs
Her tears meant nothing to you
Her body even less
Now you wonder why you languish
In such bitter loneliness
She brought you to love's chamber
And drew her veil aside
For you had kissed her lips
And in her heart she was your bride
She lay down beneath you
Her heart was beating fast
You robbed her and you shamed her
And you vanished in the dark
So all you pretty maidens
Pay heed to what I say
Not every man who tells you
You are beautiful will stay
She wanders in her grief
A star that's lost its light
Like the memory of a winter tree
In the silence of the night
The memory of a winter tree
In the silence... of the night
