lyrics

When we meet again, we'll fade like moth wings into dust,
And when we reach our end, the earth will devour us.
I will be a lily fair and the moon will pour from my milk-white hair.
You will be a golden tree. The sap will flow sweet from your knobby knees.
And oh, how sweet it will be!

Meet me in the dusk; we'll waltz atop the moss and rust.
Meet me on the hill, where in the wind you'll lose your guilt.

And I'll forget your name! I'll love you sweetly all the same.
And you'll forget my face, praising some petals in its place.
And oh, how sweet it will be! And oh, how sweet it will be!
