Well, the birds are out on this April day
There's a spring in her step as she walks away from my door
This time of year kick-starts desires
All the butterflies come to show their faces
I swear one's in my stomach as Marie replaces
The winter nights that froze me inside out
And it's frost and not snow, and our hearts are light
And it's fresh for now, but the margin's slight
But the earliest signs of bloom seem alright to me
The days drifted on as they like to do
And we like the sun, so July just flew right by
Like the plane that took us to Tuscany
While I'm not one for impulse decisions
I'll always treasure those Italian visions
I smell Chanel and see the head band on her head
And it's always so bright at the peak of the day
And that summer sun provided the slate
For the best of ours seems to be taken down for good
The leaves started changing from green to red
Horus had been put to bed
There was a bite to the wind as she whistled past my face
Then the fights began to take control
But worst of all were the nights alone
My cold bed sheets dragged me to a new low
And red is the colour of love, they say
And there's plenty about on this autumn day
So why do I feel like it's slipping through my hands
A white sheet settled on the stony ground
And killed off the last signs of life around
The Christmas lights were the brightest thing that month
Marie packed her bags a month ago
It's a shame her appearance was a cameo
That's not to say it wasn't worth the feature at all
Oh and pain, they say, is twin
To pleasure and I'd rather have felt both
Than never felt anything but the dream of someone like you
Oh so on this night I hope my dear
That you sleep sound and that your mind is clear
Though my thirst is greater now than it was at the start
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm...
