Southern winds sing softly,
From a place I once found inside your eyes...
And I'm lost in a memory of its blue depths,
And the flaming golden lights...
You know, I came to you out of darkness-
My heart bleeding neglect straight from my chest...
My soul had been burnt to ashes,
And I damned my wavering breath...
And o' how I wished I could tell you something beautiful,
But beauty withers inside a poisoned mind...
You know I would have carved your name inside the moon,
And brought you the *stars* to make you mine...
True love is bittersweet-
I've come to cherish the whispering rain...
For I tasted it once as it danced down your lips-
And your sweet body drained my pain...
You know, I came to you out of darkness,
With my wrists covered in blood...
But you sang me into an oblivion-
And the Southern winds still breathe of your love...
