Frida - Threnody lyrics

rate me

Lilacs blossom just as sweet<br />

Now my heart is shattered<br />

If I bowled it down the street<br />

Who's to say it mattered?<br />

If there's one that rode away<br />

What would I be missing?<br />

Lips that taste of tears, they say<br />

Are the best for kissing<br />

Eyes that match the morning star<br />

Seem a little brighter<br />

Arms held out to darkness are<br />

Usually whiter<br />

Shall I bar the strolling guest<br />

Bind my brow with willow<br />

When, they say, the empty breast<br />

Is the softer pillow?<br />

That a heart falls tinkling down<br />

Never think it ceases<br />

Every likely lad in town<br />

Gathers up the pieces<br />

If there's one gone whistling by<br />

Would I let it grieve me?<br />

Let him wonder if I lie<br />

Let him half believe me
