A Purse of Gold and Stars Lyrics


Your summer breathes aloud

Your prayer was overheard

Your love letters were full

of severe words

The language of dreams

The offerings of your shrine

Am I what you seem?

Well, just pour the wine.

I bring back to you

Only the things I owe

I built a pure white castle

For you to grow

The clothes you wore

You dropped them one by one

The duty of lovers

Has now begun

A mouth drawn to a mouth

And I don't ask when

I ended up as your lover

Wrapped inside your skin

I enter the labyrinth

Of moonlit skin

I've worn out my heart

That you now live in
