Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem Lyrics

Lyric discussion by the_philosopher 

Cover art for Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem lyrics by Peter Murphy

This is a great and beautiful poetic song coupled with peter murphys great voice. i think the song is about an old woman who is lying on her deathbed abd telling a bout someone she loved and the story brings up buried tears.it also seems as if she was eternally hurt by this man andhe betrayed her somehow.

in spite of this, love deeply and passionatly,it may hurt but is the only way to live life to the fullest
