Oh, to live as one wishes—
Free from money, feelings, and ***** dishes.

Able to run in the fields and admire the stars,
sip tea at night and heal from your scars.

To learn, to grow, and think thoughts unabound...
To sing loudly and sadly with no one around.

To bother another with trifles of life
And forget the wonders...forget the strife.

People are wonderful, full of mystery and sorrow,
But I hate the ones who only think of tomorrow,

And cease to love the beauty in this world,
And think only of money, and drinks to be hurled,

With no rhyme or reason, no purpose at all,
Nothing to appreciate , no reason to fall.

Indifference my enemy, I can’t stand the grey...
People of no opinion, this is your warning: stay away.

Oh, to be in the place where lovers go---
Where the wind is high and the moon is low.
Their stories entwined in a final show,
Oh, to be in the place where lovers go.

The stonework sparkles in the sun,
as their new lives have just begun,
Together, forever, always, as one,
as the stones shine in the sun.

Black they wear, not just the groom
they crowd into the heavy room,
to celebrate the lovers' doom---
they all wore black, not just the groom.

We close the box, go underground,
mark the place they can be found,
to remember the love that will resound,
eternal, everywhere---underground.

Oh, to be in the place where lovers go,
their corpses sleeping under snow,
their stories entwined in the final show,
Oh, to be in the place where lovers go.

— The End —
