It is me, it is me my dear With my coat and a dream so clear And the side of my face like a golden rocket Burning in the atmosphere Can you see me from down here Time like a diver fights For the surface when it's time to die And the pearls from his pocket falling down like snowflakes Catch them on your tongue this year In your heat they're gonna disappear I'm giving up my life of prayer I'm gonna throw your ashes in the air And I'm watching while the wind blows back and forth But it's gonna let you down somewhere It doesn't matter how much we care The frozen flower Will never open again When the cold winds howl You have but seconds to live Cover me in night so black That I could never find my way back To the stream in the woods where the footprints drown in Rain coming down like tears Drinking up all those years The frozen flower Will never open again When the cold winds howl You have but seconds to live
