Fragile as a city streetlight Quiet as the flickering night And falling like the pale moonlight My love will breathe its final breath With an exaltative hale And hiss My words a mist Will die with me In a bed that's not my own perhaps This layered earth my pillow rest And with a quiet mind Lay me down to be For I am no longer here you see And these words once left Remark so little of me To my fathers' house Go the most perfect and unexplainable sounds The voice I found is free

Exhale The Old Life Lived
Fragile as a city streetlight Quiet as the flickering night And falling like the pale moonlight My love will breathe its final breath With an exaltative hale And hiss My words a mist Will die with me In a bed that's not my own perhaps This layered earth my pillow rest And with a quiet mind Lay me down to be For I am no longer here you see And these words once left Remark so little of me To my fathers' house Go the most perfect and unexplainable sounds The voice I found is free
And breathe anew. Written to the sounds of this tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeYO46jDqZI
