Death of a Love

Anita Lipnicka


Will you kill me as you're leaving 
Erase my name, erase my face 
Take your sins and dreams somewhere else 
And bury our love in a secret place 

Will you burn down your life 
To start all over again 
Throw away my favourite dress 
The one that's hidden in your suitcase 

You turn red wine into sweet blood 
You put me under your spell 
Under the moonlight life was so intoxicating 
This is the death of a love to foretell 

You watched our love shyly, slowly 
Fade out in my impatient eyes 
Felt you go from hot to cold 
Yet the sweetness of this sadness cannot be denied 

Your smile lingers briefly 
Your final declaration without a tear 
And suddenly we become memories 
Of people who are no longer here
