The truth appears from ivory depths But it bears no meaning with both of us speaking As if nothing was said So slowly you disappear But I hear you so clearly In memories nearly deafening Here in December It's hard to remember what I loved about spring Shake the snow globe deep sky unfold make that Pierrot sing When that day comes, I'll still do your makeup I'll paint the perfect tears Don't let them run down your face I tried not to wake you When I left you this morning The promise of dawn came Through a soft pink sunrise I stood in our bedroom A few seconds or lifetimes Whispered au revoir, not goodbye Kaleidoscope skies Collide with the sea A horizon blue and pink Deep sky hyacinthine And when the sky cracked I felt it crack in me My eyes began to bleed A Pierrot must sing Shake the snow globe Every trace of who we were Is swallowed by the sky But I'll carry our memories The warmth of the daylight The softness of shadows Morning bleeds in through Holes in the blinds A carousel spinning Beside me, you're smiling My horse descends as you rise I stood in our bedroom A few seconds or lifetimes Whispered au revoir, not goodbye
