I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon Enveloped heart, and the air is cool Put on your dress, white Goddess And settle in, as the weather folds In the slow haze of the afternoon Swaying hips, made like a gun Blackest sails, the most beautiful, star In the world, in the air, on my tongue Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun So, take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? Only you know You were conceived in my heart, Came like a dream To save me from my mortality Put on your dress, white Goddess And settle in, as the weather folds Our lives will be entwined, even when I die You'll see me through 'til the end of time No earthly bride, the most beautiful, star In the world, in the air, on my tongue Before my eyes, beyond the stars, Beneath the sun So, take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? Only you know Take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth?
