Geoff McKenzie - Sighs Lyrics

Flowers after frost don't know they're dying
Gilded for an hour, they keep shining
Stay with me my darling in this moment
Accept this fleeting gift of perfect glory

You, who've scaled the palace tower
I, who've searched for a trap door
Somehow we're parted in the silence of this night
I still love your morning sighs

The moth, she quit her toil of endless spinning
To chance the lantern light on silver wings
How I wish to find you in that darkness
And hold you just outside the siren flame

You, who've scaled the palace tower
I, who've searched for a trap door
Somehow we're parted in the silence of this night
I still love your morning sighs

Now our hearts grow wooly in their chambers
Wearing thin, the years would make them strangers
Let us knit their fraying ends between us
And mend the broken spaces in the stillness

You, who've scaled the palace tower
I, who've searched for a trap door
No longer parted in the silence of this night
I still love your morning sighs
