«Give me your eyelight», she said to me,
She looked so solemn and seriously,
She turned aside
Into the night
And all these colours, she never see.
Eternal darkness she promised to me,
But I regret
The day we met.
I realised that that day
When she kissed me, she was dead.
Her fatal kiss
I cannot miss,
I couldn't bear to share her
As she gives, she gives herself away.
This fatal lust,
I shouldn't trust,
I should defend, I understand
She never meant to hurt me.
She sat a crown of thorns upon her head,
Her eyes so deep, so blue, could not forget…
And when she walked, she left an open gate,
She couldn't see me follow —
She spent the kiss of fate.
When she turned aside
Out of the light,
And like a drowning man I called for her.
The thought of losing her I could not bear.
And I regret,
I never had
A vision like this one,
A dream that left me blind and sad.
Her fatal kiss
I cannot miss,
I couldn't bear to share her
As she gives, she gives herself away.
This fatal lust,
I shouldn't trust,
I should defend, I understand
She never meant to hurt me.
She's got needles in her eyes,
A well of tears that never dries,
And when I tried to hold her tight,
She said she'd kill me with delight.
To get my gift, my gift to see,
She'd bore her fingers into me
And she would fumble in my face
To find a way throughout this daze.
'cause she's been roving for so long,
'cause any way out has been wrong.
I never knew if she was mine or I was hers
As she gave…
She gave herself away.
She gave, she gave herself away.
