Duchess Lyrics

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
