Your dulcet violin was clear Imprisoned my heart and ear For twelve Julys last year when god was here Many picture hooks on the wall Many paint stains on the floor And the love a father should nurture is thrown out the door Your apparition lives with me through delight and odium In one big shining mausoleum It's a bright sadness, you see Love is hard to hold endlessly Love is old, bold and untold for you and me Found new skin immune from your grace Bought new eyes that don't know your face And the mother who's killed within you came to marble this place So I dance with my unborn daughter to the music of your requiem In one big shining One big shining One big shining Mausoleum
