Track by Beps’n’Johnnies from the album, Bare Bones
lyrics
She was a keen girl of the wind, churning blossoms around
A light beam of a polar day, seeking for a sun blackout
A burning doll made of wax, a phoenix living in the rain
A turtledove caught in a trap, grateful for her pain
He came and stood in front of her, lighthouse cropped up in a storm
Flooding in dried up land, bursting chest of warmth
An eagle brought back to life, poison on tongue to kiss
A monsoon giving last rites, strong shiver of bliss
He took her head in palms and covered her with a wing
He cried her glory up and said: Birdie, sing me, sing
Love’s blind, love’s deaf, but loud
Things are allowed to die, there’s no other way
So kill me now to keep it, don’t let it fade away
Things are allowed to die, it’s too strong to stay
Please, kill me now to keep it, don’t let it fade away
No, no ~ Be mine, be mine
Be brave ~ Be mine, be mine
You fool ~ Be mine, be mine
Cause the one who shot first still stays alive...
I don’t wanna know what’s it like to lose my friend
How it is to be sick of the love, sick of my life in the end
I don’t wanna feel what's it like to lose you, my best friend
How it is to be sick of the life in the end
Kill me now to keep it, don’t let it fade away...
