Lovers Don't Forgive

In the dreaming twilight
You're like a vision, soothing as the rain
Like a trembling fire
Your secrets come to stay
The heat from the pyre
A premonition
The moon is new and pale
And in the lonely hour
You push the world away
You're dancing here before me
Stripping me down slowly
The painted tears are only
Telling us that lovers don't forgive
And all the bleeding flowers are in remission
We watch the colours drain
Kiss the loving liar
You're the reason I remain
I hear the midnight choir
Your composition is hiding hoof and tale
And in the silent hour the passions never change
You're dancing here before me
Stripping me down slowly
The painted tears are only
Telling us that lovers don't forgive
You play to win
Your ever plastic moments
And you ride the moon
Into twilight
Your heart it sings
Your love it burns like gasoline
Your kiss it brings me
Into twilight
You're dancing here before me
Stripping me down slowly
The painted tears are only
Telling us that lovers don't forgive
You play to win
Your ever plastic moments
And you ride the moon
Into twilight
All the things that I will live
All the dreams that I will need
All the love I'll ever feel
I'll find in you
Lovers don't forgive
