Golden strands like dawn breaking free A halo of light that won't leave me Her smile ignites what the dark erased Oceans of glass show every trace No rib of mine could shape her grace She is the light I cannot trace She The ghost in my chest, the ache in my veins She Perfection that time will take away She Windows of blue where her storms undo Every emotion bleeding through A temple of love carved for life The vessel of souls, the proof of time No rib of mine could shape her grace She is the light I cannot trace She The ghost in my chest, the ache in my veins She Perfection that time will take away She God, take me first, before she fades Don't leave me with a dream that breaks Forever decay The light and the grave She is perfection Don't take her away She The wonder my soul could never believe No! The last word my lips will ever speak The only proof that heaven reached me So God, if mercy has a name She
