Young girl with roses in her eyes
 Sits on a bed of white sheets
 The lights are off, the gloom begins
 To thicken as she waits
 She's waiting alone in the dark
 (waiting...)
 Where is the sun and flowered park?
 (we're always waiting...)
 Why do they always meet in shadow?
 Young girl with roses in her eyes
 (I'm as close as your breathing...)
 Waits for the phosphorescent mouth
 (but you can't hear me...)
 It's blue and comes upon her neck
 In whispers like dry grass
 She's waiting for her lover's voice
 (I tried to talk to you...)
 The sun is gone, the music plays
 (but you wouldn't listen...)
 From the street corner and she cries
 Young girl with roses in her eyes
 Hugs close the dark and cries
 The words she hears are weak
 Her lover is not asleep, he's dead
 She feels his breathing by her side
 He reaches across the border
 Stretching his boneless hand towards her
 (...Death is silent, painless
 I didn't know what happened
 I was suddenly standing above my body
 While you looked on
 Too much in shock for tears
 I tried to speak
 But couldn't
 I tried to talk to you
 But you wouldn't listen
 And now we meet
 Like guilty lovers in the dark
 For such a hopeless moment
 And even as we meet, I feel you slipping from me
 And I go back
 To my darkness...)
 The girl with roses in her eyes
 (my spirit lingers after you like a faint stream of clouds...)
 Speaks with her lover who is here
 (my mouth hovers about you forever...)
 Like vines their voices intertwine
 It is all they have
 (I see you waiting for me... summoning up the power as the light dies...)
 She struggles to hold him back
 (that light we loved...)
 He clutches but the power is gone
 And the pillow turns to chalk
 (Don't go, don't go, don't go...)
 (Please don't go...)
 (I'm slipping...)
 (I tried to speak but couldn't
 And now we meet like guilty lovers in the dark
 For such a hopeless moment
 And even as we meet, I feel you slipping from me
 And I go back to my darkness...)
