Duchess

It's your bicycle bells 
And your Rembrandt swells 
You're children like 
And still breathing 
It's your look of loss 
When you're coming across 
Makes me feel like a thief 
When you're bleeding 

Duchess, Duchess 
Light up your candles for me 
Duchess, Duchess 
Put all the love back in me 

It's the Persian sea 
Running through your veins 
You shed your names 
With the seasons 
Still they all return 
With there last remains 
As they lay them before you 
Like breezes 

It's your shimmering dress 
It says no 
It says yes 
It says i've nothing left for concealing 
It's your shapeless flesh 
And your old girl's grace 
It's your young girl's face 
That I'm breathing 

Duchess, Duchess 
Light up your candles for me 
Duchess, Duchess 
Put all the love back in me 

I'm lying 
She's crying
