He was never waiting for us again
He drowned on the steppe
As we followed in their dance
We were not but pages and were oppressed
In love's hot flame we're dying
Like a striped pair of brains
My cardinal fire is melting through the
dark All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone
left a cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it
Cos it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!
I recall the yellow curtain dress
Fumbling like a wave on the ground
And I cramp your knees The birds are tender babies in your hands
And the old man playing jackals by the trees
My cardinal fire is melting through the
dark All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left a cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it
Cos it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!
There will be another dream for me For I
will see There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it I will bring you away this morning And I'll
let you catch me looking at the sky And after all the loss of my life
You'll still be the one I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it I will win the worship in the rites
And I will lose it I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loss of my life Oh,
after all the loss of my life
I've been thinking of you And wondering why
My cardinal fire is melting through the
dark All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left a cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it
Cos it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!
Oh no!
