1.
Portrait of you still so ever ingrained, Never has a smile taken my heart so fluttering Captured in colors reflecting your eyes, Never thought that you could break me down so easily Be still my heart, ‘cause the bells are ringing, ringing. Take my hand and stay, we’ll be together from this day The tears on your face are forever to stay Never has a smile taken my heart so viciously Be still my heart, ‘cause the bells are ringing, ringing Take my hand and stay, we’ll be together from this day
2.
Time to decide what my life is gonna be And I wish that I could see Hold to the reins, ‘cause this horse is running free And where he roams is where he’ll be Wild when he runs ‘Cause he’s wild since he was young And he rears under the sun Faster than wind - looks ahead, not where he’s been And his mane chases after him

“Anything goes” - that’s what you used to say But you didn’t know that there would be a day That I’d bring you down, down, down, I’d bring you down Now you’re broken inside and you cannot confide in me I never knew you too well And now I can’t return your heart, we’re both getting burned And I think we should stop at the start “I think we should go” - that’s what I’d like to say But we both know we’re too deep to break away And I’m sinking down, down, down, I’m sinking down Now you’re broken inside and you cannot confide in me I never knew you too well And now I can’t return your heart, we’re both getting burned And I think we should stop at the start Tell me I’m right, don’t leave me in doubt Leave the past white like we’re just starting out

The wind is whistling to the tune of winter’s change And blows the dead leaves all around us The night whispers secret things it wants to say And you can hear them if you close your eyes The sun is set on the horizon The autumn sky just went to bed Now wrap up tight ‘cause it’s a cold night And child when morning comes we’ll go to mourn the dead My transom fills with darkness even when the sun is high The shroud is covering my mind Her eyelids flashed as I covered them with earth I justify she got what she deserved The sun is set on the horizon The autumn sky just went to bed Now wrap up tight ‘cause it’s a cold night And child when morning comes we’ll go to mourn the dead I hear the tremors of her soft vibrating voice They pull my spirits from their thoughts The grass is cold and wet as I find a special place Its morbid beauty no longer rots The sun is set on the horizon The autumn sky just went to bed Now wrap up tight ‘cause it’s a cold night And child when morning comes we’ll go to mourn the dead I feel the earth cave in around me I’m lying broken in her bed No one in sight and it’s a cold night I hear the shovel - earth is covering my head
