lyrics

I heard a whispered name,
Across a desert plain,
I thought it was your voice

I smelled a flower scent,
Of wafting violets,
But the wind blew it away

I saw your flaxen hair,
You told me to beware,
But still I came your way

You said you lived,
A life not fit for love,
Ooh

I tried to give,
My heart but you were not done,
Ooh

I heard a rifle shot,
It rings out in the dark,
And slowly fades away

I smelled a copper tinge,
Clothes that had been singed,
I knew not what to say

I saw your reddened hair,
Your body lying there,
Never see another day

You said you lived,
A life not fit for love,
Ooh

I tried to give,
My heart but you were not done,
Ooh

I heard a whispered name,
Across a desert plain,
I thought it was your voice

I smelled a flower scent,
Of wafting violets,
But the wind blew it away
