Let me paint my house with color soft.
Still as snowflakes lying in a drift
Let me paint my house in colours mute
That lovers die I cannot now dispute.
As stark as ghosts are in an empty lift.
The end of life is startling it is swift.
Death came here and touched his unkissed lips
I am lonely are the lights go out.
I am frightened I won’t know the route
Now my heart is bleeding it is ripped
Lie beside me lover in the moss
Paint my face with colours still and soft
I see you in the mist and I am lost.
What we pay is more than any cost.
