I tried to memorise your face The muffled sounds outside The ceiling branded with your crest The incense smoking in the dark The velvet couch The pelts, the wine That moment when your lips found mine Your beating heart against my chest A moment's peace in war's embrace...
I tried to memorise your face - The way you looked in that one breath When time was waiting outside And I was waiting for the end But I remember only eyes That speak to me what lips cannot They do not blame me for the hurt But, sighing, add another notch To the long scoreboard of our lies.
