Lavender Lips

When my blood runs black and my skin's cold as snow And no one can tell me where my soul goes I'll have secrets inside me You'll never know They'll hide in the dirt with my ashes and bones Sisters, and mothers, and lovers, and friends Well, we all close our eyes one day in the end When it's my time to meet the maker of men Will I still be thinkin what might've been Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die Give me your hand to hold As I leave this world alone And kiss my lavender lips when I die There's so many things that I never knew But the one thing I knew: it was always you But you can't save me when my heart's icy blue Don't blame yourself for what you could never do Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die Give me your hand to hold As I leave this world alone And kiss my lavender lips when I die It's all war and guns and fire And every hope turns into useless desire And Love, she's just a jealous liar I'd rather burn up in a funeral pyre Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die Give me your hand to hold As I leave this world alone Give me your hand to hold As I leave this world alone And kiss my lavender lips when I die
