Lament

I've seen your fairground hair, your seaside eyes

Your vampire tooth, your little truth and your tiny lies

And I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize

Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns and your midnight cries

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand

Your monkey claw, your monkey paw and your monkey hand

And I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire

Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon, your jail house smile

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears

Your shining prize, your tiny cries, your little fears

And I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes

Your little truth, your vampire tooth and your tiny lies

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away

So dry your eyes

And turn your head away

Now there's nothing more to say

Now you're gone away
