I passed on the painted veil

Somerset, some other time and love

Weighed without intention

And that caught her eye

She knew what I was thinking of

I’m not that hard to find



When I wish of her

I wish her beneath my gaze

And if I drink of her it will

be all my days

And when she told me she was a trinket

I forgot to be amazed

I should have been amazed



Sand in the hallway

The glisten of her laugh

I’ve never found it easier to spend my days

My soul sings the prowler’s nocturne

From deep down within this cage

We have too many last nights in our lives

Too many desperate hours

Whispering goodbyes

And baby the earth shook

The last time I heard you cry



Yes you loved me

Gently caressed my face

Not some little sorcery

Some simple twist of fate

I was hundreds of feet away

I should have been amazed

I should have been amazed
