lyrics

don't come any closer
stay where you are
I can't see what is right in front of me
senses fail and senses fade
and time eats all memory

don't be afraid, little bird
you can still fly
I can still see your wings
beat against the sky

time is brief
might as well be free
but you'd live longer
here with me

please just hold me tighter
don't fear I'll break
I can't feel what is gentle anymore
senses fail and senses fade
we forget how it was before

don't be afraid, little bird
you can still fly
I can still see your wings
beat against the sky

time is brief
might as well be free
but you'd live longer
here with me

my skin, like silk, is smooth and cold
my will is pure and soft as gold
my ageless face holds ancient eyes
forever turned toward the skies

senses fail and senses fade
and time erases memory...
