In the dreamy twilight You're like a vision Soothing as the rain Like a trembling fire Your secrets come to stay The heat from the pyre A premonition The moon is new and pale In the lonely hour You push the world away You're dancing here before me Stripping me down slowly The painted tears are holy Telling us that lovers don't forgive And all the bleeding flowers, Are in remission We watch the colours drain Kiss the lovely liar You're the reason I remain I hear the midnight choir Your composition Is hiding hoof and tail And in the silent tower The passions never change You're dancing here before me Stripping me down slowly The painted tears are holy Telling us that lovers don't forgive You play to win You hear the plastic mermaid sing You ride the moon Into twilight Your heart it sings Your love it burns like gasoline Your kiss it brings Me into twilight You're dancing here before me Stripping me down slowly The painted tears are holy Telling us that lovers don't forgive You play to win You hear the plastic mermaid sing You ride the moon Into twilight All the things that I believe All the dreams that I will need All the love I'll ever feel I find in you Lovers don't forgive
