The strands of my heliac hair Slip through your amiable fingers Your long eyelashes in the soft air Touching my eyelashes They have their own way Of saying I love you The tears run down On the even face line Give me your past ghosts, your nightmares See how devoted I'll care Or let me become sweeping waters Soaking up crust surfaces of the past You 're in the safe arms, my love I'll wear your bandages for as long as the ache lasts
