Ever of faithless heart

My only allegiance is song

The flight and perch of birds

Half glimpsed on secret garden walls

Why must I always go

When the going's only good?

When the fight is overthrown

I'm sorry darling, I'm no good

"Stay in touch", he said

As I descended the stairs

Oh I still feel his touch

It's travelled miles with me, I swear

I poured rainbows down his throat

Sweet as cherry, thick as rope

He shook me till the touch light woke

Until this sin was worthy, beyond reproach

How can I redress

A river run to the sea?

It's too late to regret

The one I promised I would be

And though I act the part

I feel I'm just a ghost

Oh I still love my heart

But my head's been turned by a restless ghost

He drank whiskey, I drank gin

Our words were caverns to dive in

To trace the curve, to climb the arc

This holy light, this precious dark

"Stay in touch", he said

As I descended the stairs

Oh I still feel his touch

It's travelled miles with me, I swear

I poured rainbows down his throat

Sweet as cherry, thick as rope

He shook me till the touch light stirred

Until this sin was flew like a brace of birds
