Lyrics

Tell me oh something so new
I will sing to the crowds
In despair and in longing

Gone is the meaning of lust
Watch you sweat through your blouse
In the air the myrtle’s burning

If I were to have
Your love
Our kingdom would tumble and fall

If I were to live
A life worth living
Don’t save me if I die in your arms

Gibbets now creak on the march
A lonely child is on the pavement
Nothing is ever enough
For you it’s never enough

And so it goes
My love
My fable of failure and hope

If I should exist
If I should live
Don’t save me if I die in your arms


Tell me oh something so new
I will sing to the crowds
In despair and in longing

Tender I’ll say my goodbyes
Slender-form ever-knowing
Never-ending
Until next time

Don’t save me if I die in your arms
Leave me untouched
