Deliquescent Kiss

Music: D.G. Womb / Words: D.G. Womb

Like dew she was born

Like dew she will vanish

All that she’s ever done

Is but a dream within a dream

The poets of the old nations

Told stories about you

The woman with a ravens heart

I knew you knew

I was awake

So I didn’t bother pretending to be asleep

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would gladly die

For your kiss

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would happily die

For one deliquescent kiss

Over the wharves

Over the warehouses

These raiments shelter me

A furious rumble

Like distant thunder

At this velvet black time of night

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would gladly die

For your kiss

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would happily die

For one deliquescent kiss

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would gladly die

For your deliquescent kiss

The thing is this

The thing is this

I would happily die

For one deliquescent kiss
