To cut out the figure The grounding of this Let melancholic drown To greener reminders Of better pastures You're beautiful and found Embattled walls that I have raised To only bring you down A fortune I would gladly trade To swim within the sound I wish you would I wish you would I will never (let you break) I will never let you break The burn of the summer When I first saw you Still upon my brow The gentle refusal The fear you flourish Let peel away from now The red that I have run so long The penchant for this flight The memory of this overcomes Lifting now to light
