It's your bicycle bells and your Rembrandt swells

Your children alive and still breathing

With the Persian sea running through your veins

You shed your names with the seasons

Still they all return with their last remains

And they lay them before you like reasons

With your shimmering dress, it says 'no', it says 'yes'

It says 'I've nothing left for concealing'

It's your shiftless flesh and your old girl's grace
F# E B
It's your young girl's face that I'm breathing
