I wore many coats Just to brave the wild Ive been a thousand men Been a single child Look out, Desdemona Your father saw you smile Yes, I know that laugh As the credits fade From the way I bleed Believe I know that blade I hope my dying words They keep you awake Like a golden rule You just cant obey Look out, Desdemona Youre not too young to pay I know your secret Thought I could keep it But I know, I know that I cant Do you see that moon? Do you see those stars? They have never changed I have strayed so far The light just lays itself On your long, white neck Like it softly did On the night we met Look out, Desdemona This is all we get
desdemona, know, look, strayed, obey
