I remember the day
When you ran away
Your top hat and cane
Your pale skin and your shame
Screaming your house
Walking along
Screaming your house
Singing in red
I remember the stage
As the red curtains rose
You were exposed
To the music in your bones
Your heart wilted
The earth tilted
Like a fallen rose
Like a lily in search of water
Screaming your house
Walking alone
Screaming your house
Singing in red
