He would bring me orchids, To the cemetery late at night We would make love amongst the tombstones In the pale, moonlight Whispering sweet promises, We both knew could never be I prayed to the godless heavens, That he'd be mine for eternity Now he forever lies, In that cemetery by the sea Only the scent of death and orchids, Brings his memory back to me

The Scent Of Death And Orchids
He would bring me orchids, To the cemetery late at night We would make love amongst the tombstones In the pale, moonlight Whispering sweet promises, We both knew could never be I prayed to the godless heavens, That he'd be mine for eternity Now he forever lies, In that cemetery by the sea Only the scent of death and orchids, Brings his memory back to me
