The Concubine

Within

A wilderness of stars

But for the absence of flowers

You know that nothing will change

How

Gracious you were

Is how gracious I'll be

At the top of the hour when

They pass her to me

Takes her place on my knee

We'll be something to see

Look out

Not careful

You'll be smothered by lust

Enticed by rocks

Scraped barren by wait

My love

Is slowly transforming to hate

Within

A wilderness of stars

But for the absence of flowers

You know that nothing will change

There's still no one who calls

There's still nothing to see

Though there's something for me

Look out

Not careful

You'll be smothered by lust

Enticed by rocks

Scraped barren by wait

My love

Is slowly transforming to hate

Feel it now it's a fading sensation

I never knew which doors you've strayed through

You settle just like dust that's been landing on me

Within

A wilderness of stars

How lucky we are

That there's nothing between

All the ones we can see

Though there's nothing for you

There's always something for me
