Across the dust my steps do fade 
Silence has chipped all life away 
The night is long; my breath is drawn 
For silence is a lonely song. 

Beneath the stars my love does lay 
Where I shall fall and weep and pray 
Caught in the rain; lost in dismay 
I drop more tears upon thy grave. 

Sober skies and stained glass eyes 
All precious ways for thee to die 
False angels weep; my love for thee 
Remains a secret not to keep. 

Now courage waits the hour when 
I break my hands and bury them 
My sorrows borne; thy beauty torn 
The night is long... I love no more.
