She told me dying felt just like an aphrodisiac
Whispered soft kisses on her paling neck
And as she slipped into a sleep thick as the clouds above
She told me dying had been teaching her the language of love
Not all that long ago she said
"Baby we've got to go so far away from here
We can find another place just as nice but twice as safe from harm
Baby we're so tired
Our souls and our bodies are so tired
But at least we're still alive for now
This time I think, my lover, just walk away this time"
"Come on little darling
We've saved them from this mess
So many times before now
Come on little darling, this time let's just save ourselves"
I could not say yes
I had to clean up my own mess
People died because of my carelessness
