Belle De Jour - Birds Of Passage

Moonlight, come and find me

Hidden behind my closed eyes

Draw your shadow over

The secrets of my two lives

MoonLight, please, I beg you

See through me and my distance

I dreamt I stole your kisses

I stole them while you slumbered

The romance I remember

Is simplicity

Have I killed the flame

Or just heightened my ideals?

This spring and all its blossoms

I give leave to get th best of me

And cover m with flowers

Till I’ve healed

I’m censored by the choices of the web

I’ve spun around me

But I fell in love with kindness

And he fell in love with me

So take me as i want to be

Surrendered under your breath

Naked, steal my kisses

And hound me to my death

This mask I wear is wounded

Like the soldier underneath

This heart I hide is delicate

And worn

Use me in the shadows

For the shadows bring out light

And love, my light is almost gone
