It's your bicycle bells and you Rembrandt swells
Your children alive and still breathing
And your look of loss when you're coming across

Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding

Duchess Duchess

Light up your candles for me
Duchess Duchess
Put all your love back in me

I come listening I touch touching

With the Persian sea running through your veins

You shed your names with the seasons
Still they all return with the last remains
And they lay them before you like reasons


With your shimmering dress it says no it says yes
It says I've nothing left for conceiving

Its your shiftless flesh and your old girls grace
Its your young girls face that I'm breathing


Duchess Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess Duchess Duchess

Put all the love back in me

I am lying she is crying
