Chestnut Tree - If I Had Only One Day...

If I had only one day to pay and to say
All the words that may hold us away
The sly dismay leads you astray
I’d paint the thoughts of grey
If I had just one day

None of us could reach the stars
Nor the fate did cherish us
Cupid's tear brakes into the rose-leaves
Squeezed out of the ether tightens my sleeves

Hasty glances sting like a dozen of whips
Beg you to keep this new-moon on your lips
Eclipse - the betrayal of old days and new
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you …

Both of us were scorched by the stars
And tried to forget those uttering scars
Keep pretending but don’t turn your wingless back
Coming off my finger-tips are gliding on your neck

When they come for you will you pass me through?
When they come for me what am I to do?
The fetid rock-teeth are grinding my knee
Under the spreading chestnut tree
You sold me…

We dance our ways on the edge of a saw
Gently touching each other on the raw
The spark we enshroud still clings to its ray
If I had a break in the clouds, if I had only one day…

If I had only one day to pay and to say
All the words that may hold us away
The sly dismay leads you astray
I’d paint the thoughts of grey
And bring the May

Devil’s wedding of the three
We've crumbled to dust, we has ceased to be
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me...
