Odessa 歌詞

It is but a dated flower I bring to you It is but a violet glistening with dew For in our hearts our love for you lies unrevealed A stale romance and the solitude we share Have dragged you to the beach to find me there Every promise undone glittering in the sun In the golden sway of violence That morning you came and you stood in disbelief In longing and shame - the presentiment of grief To forgive and to define this treachery of mine You took off your clothes in silence This sweet blue secrecy, the demands of destiny Now who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride What a very strange season this is From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows To the streaming summers hatchet she rose Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky We smother everything in kisses Will we know eternity? Will we forge a way to see? Who will serve your pleasure, who will serve your greed? Now that the men you treasured belong to the fleet And watch the morrows tide, that frail and beautiful bride What a very strange season this is From the tender ax of springtime, defying the snows To the streaming summers hatchet she rose Now all covered with lime under an indifferent sky We smother everything in kisses Oh, we smother everything in kisses
