She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending

One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard


She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"

I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came

One will spread our ashes round the yard
