i almost loved you

My Dying Bride

Across her body I fled. "You never knew" she said
All me listened, and listen still
"All things betray you - and I will"

And in her hand sat my hand. Cold the sun and waters ran
As the deep called me up I named her as my love

I wandered half the night to cast a secret ring in fire
We'd been lovers only a short time
Yet I stand, pretty in your mouth
You and the night slip by. You are incomplete without me
You were made great. How men left you
A dying star. I almost loved you
