I just wanted to be so much better than me
But I lost the talisman, so I could not be free
And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves
And I smirk mischievously and imagine they had the hearts
Then I got up and left and I turned a corner right
Though I could not keep my rent, there were shadows in my sights
As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park
But I did not become afraid when I heard he dogs starts to bark
It might have been cold or warm, but I did not seem to care
I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air
Then I fell to the ground, but I heard a million sounds
There were whistles there were bells. There were screams and exploding shells
I found teeth marks in my thigh and I started to cry
No longer wanted to try, but I did not ask why
Then your hollow, hollow face was emerging from the willow trees
Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease
And away my silent lover, you're just changing with the grass
Oh so slowly you float, oh so so gracefully you pass
And I do not see you smile. You don't talk, you don't laugh
You're the Shepard of my sheep, the keeper of my golden calf
And your love is truly true, mysterious, handsome too
In the wind and in the rain, never had to be pursued
When I'm cold and in the gutter, I simply shut my eyes so tight
Sitting warm it makes me shudder and I soon feel alright
And away my silent lover, one day we'll shall be together
There will remain no contemplation, no more schemes or endeavors
When my heart disintegrates and my voice is no more
We'll eternally be mates from the horizon to the shore
But for now it's all nostalgia, you're a cinematic spector
Cast your image from the blinds by the glow of the old projector
And away my silent lover
And away my silent lover
