Duchess

It's your bicycle bells
And your Rembrandt swells
Your children alive and still breathing

And 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 your love
Back in me

I come whisper
I touch, I touch you

With the Persian sea
Running through your veins
You shed your names
Like the seasons

Still they all return
With the last remains
And they lay them before you like reasons

Your shimmering dress
It says no it says yes
It says I have nothing left for conceiving

It's your shiftless 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, Duchess
Put all your love
Back in me

I am lying
She, she's crying
