Sing me a song
Of stranger love
And twisted though the melody goes
It is sweeter than it seems

The sharp violent flames
That burn away the leaves
Stop
To reveal an ember
Burning white hot
Amid the scattered ashes

Disparate though their love may be
It's built on firmer stuff
And for that I would say
They are more fortunate
