lyrics

Wrapped in flowers, an earthly twist
Though she dresses for nobody but herself now
Painted red, lips I have kissed that now I miss
One of the more things that won't come again

And if I dropped this madness she wouldn't see
Gone are the days when I could hold her
And if I spoke a kind word she wouldn't hear
For she was born to disappear and

There is a crossing for every stream

She's throwing herself down
A bed of water wraps itself around her
She's throwing herself down, sister daughter
Leaving us to drown in her

And if I could I'd catch her, but what's the use
Gone are the days when I could hold her
And if she saw the future she must have guessed
There's only silence for the rest of us and

There is a willow beyond my reach

She's throwing herself down, too much of water
Wrap your thoughts around me
Throwing herself down, sister daughter
Leaving me to drown here
A garland for the bride I never married
Wishing us goodnight

Ladies goodnight, sweet ladies goodnight
Dear ladies goodnight, ladies goodnight
