The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them away
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully, they might so I'm waiting and staying awake

Things I have loved I'm allowed
To keep
I'll never know if I go
To sleep

The papers around me are piling and twisting, Regina, the paper back mummy, what then?
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own and I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stones

Things I have loved I'm allowed
To keep
I'll never know if I go
To sleep
Things I have loved I'm allowed
To keep
I'll never know if I go
To sleep
