What will you do when you've gone away?
Closing in, the walls now make their way.
Honey, golden light through your window
pierces through with glowing, honey glow.
Honey, go.
What will you do when you make your home
(built so soon 'til night, your newborn Rome)?
Build a newborn love, all of your own;
build a room for me, for me alone.
Or, be alone.
Build it up, and out, and through-
Darling, build it all for you.
There is cold beneath the calm.
Lay your keys beneath your palm.
We have ordinary lives,
cutting pictures out, with knives,
from old storybooks, so bright,
which have struck your heart alight.
What to do, if you ever return:
Fly too close, and burn, and burn, and burn.
