Blood & Sun Lavender Letters
The cold set in to stone New York
Rose petals and lavender letters
Leaf by leaf I sent an oak wreath
Piece by piece I sent much of me
As the days carved deep you said "lets strive together"
But (you) meant die apart
Oh how sickly sweet your snake whispers can be
Bands of gold three were never for me
The wind swept through that stone New York
Scattering rose petals, burnt lavender letters
Your ruby eyes gleam, at dusk you set me free
With only a thousand miles to go and a thousand dreams to cleave
The snow set in to that stone New York
No more rose petals oh those lavender letters
Leaf by leaf I sent an oak wreath
Piece by piece you had all of me
Only a thousand more miles to go
And only a thousand more dreams to cleave
Like a heart buried outside stone walls
I leave my confession with Saint Augustine
