"Golden Eyelids" Lyrics

As a color she'll rise
From the water
A golden light
Wanders with the birds

Where have you been?
What have you seen?
All the peace
When you come following

I'll tell you it's worth it all
My eyes see red
Behind your golden eyelids
Are drawers of your hair
But no tears now that
Your cancer is fed
Your soul shielded
Your voice sings red

My twins were born
Far too early
Cut out and laid
In a bed of heat

Lead me from this dark house
With your gold fingers
Turn this wicked touching
Into a golden church

Please tell me it's worth it all
Your heart beats red
Behind your golden eyelids
Float with birds in your hair
No words
That your mouth left unread
My arms are your bed
Your heart beats red

You have such a good heart
For wandering
All the peace when I come following

You told me it was worth it all
My eyes see red
Behind your golden eyelids
Beyond the last words you said
I'll follow
All my flown away kids
Let your arms be our beds
My eyes see red
