Only

There's a lamp that burns
In a room up high
There's a face that turns
From side to side
And I know that you will come to me
If I wait here patiently
Like a fly on the wall

Bury me, bury me
In the cotton folds
And the sea of your hair
Bury me
When the window flashes black
And the crack that opens up
Beneath me
Bury me
In the cotton folds
And the sea of your hair

And the music of the town
That starts to circle round
Tulips
Bury me

And your figure turns
Down the spiral stairs
Past the ancient faces
Ever watching there
And a harsh wind blows
Through churches gold
Glass-coloured beads
I can see the stars
Hear the sound of your feet
Oh, come to me

Silver aquamarine

Cover me, cover me
In the desert's calm
Night stars
Splendour
Come to me
Like a snake, no, like a cat
You come closer through the slack
Umbilical strings
With the cotton folds
And the sea of your hair

And the currents turning round
Pull me up, set me down
In bedrock
Come to me
