tale of the blue hearts on the cusp of night

of zebras - the love collection

here, when i say i never want to be without you,
somewhere else i am saying
i never want to be without you again. and when i touch you
in each of the places we meet,

in all of the lives we are, it's with hands that are dying
and resurrected.
when i don't touch you it's a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever'
