I Almost Loved You

Lyrics

Across her body I fled "You never knew" she said All me listened, and listen still "All things betray you – and I will" And in her hand sat my hand Cold the sun and waters ran As the deep called me up I named her as my love I wandered half, half the night To cast a secret ring in fire We'd been lovers only a short time Yet I stand, pretty in your mouth You and the night slip by You are incomplete without me You were made great How men left you A dying star I almost loved you
