Solemn winter morning
Pale sun through the window
Everything, it seems the same
But on only the surface
Deeper conversations
Reassurances and revelations
A moment's hesitation by the door
So give me a flowered goodbye
You may be dead by morning
'Cause death can come so silently
And without warning
Will you come back one day?
One day with the starlings
One day in the springtime
And one day with the sun
Underneath the starlight
Underneath the moonlight
We made a solemn promise
And a contract signed in blood
And I hate you 'cause I love you
And I hate myself for loving you
The pain that comes with love
Will be a curse that I must bear
And when the battle's over
And the smoke is clearing
You'll lie there in the wasteland
And you'll dream of warmer days
And as your life is fading
Your thoughts will turn to loved ones
In nothing but the silence
And the sundown's winter rays
So give me a flowered goodbye
You may be dead by morning
'Cause death can come so silently
And without warning
I'll take a bullet
So give me a flowered goodbye
You may be dead by morning
'Cause death can come so silently
And without warning
I'll take a bullet
I'll take a bullet for you
But only if you ask me
So just ask me
