A letra:
How
delicate the tracery of her fine lines
Like the moonlight lacetops
of the evening pines
Like a song half heard through a closed
door
Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore
How innocent her visage as my child
lover lies
Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my
eyes
Like an antique etching glass design
That somehow turned
out wrong
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's
body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even
as I sing this song
How secretly and silently my sorrow
disappears
You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your
ears
It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really
gone
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's
body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even
as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing
this song
