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 when 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 Will you come back one day? One day with the starlings One day in the springtime And one day with the sun
