lyrics
Her footsteps move quiet like stealing
Her scent rose like smoke to the ceiling
Her dress was just barely revealing
And it captured my wandering eyes
She leaves here, her memory lingers
Feel the touch of her ice cube fingers
I've been caught by her claws and her stingers
It's as if I've been hypnotized
Her hands move, two butterflies dancing
So controlled yet so casually entrancing
I saw them last night, I was glancing
Struck dumb, waiting for a word
Smooth like a mirror reflecting
Her eyes hide her secrets protecting
One word, now she speaks. She's rejecting
The ones that would care for her.
She's stepping away
And I watch, she's leaving
She never can stay
But it's no cause for grieving
She could never pretend to be homely
Not alone, only ever so lonely
And this I could cancel if only
She'd let me get close to her
She cuts me without blades or violence
But her lips can speak nothing but silence
It's been more than just a while since
She's stepping away
And I watch, she's leaving
She never can stay
But it's no cause for grieving
