Your sleeves are stained red

Your cheeks all bear the lines

Of tears long since shed

For your fairy tale of lies

And for the one that you love

Send a lantern to the sky

If a candle burns long enough

That flame that was will die

Love like a withered rose

Is beautiful even in death

Until that blue flame goes

Leaving us in peaceful rest

And as it quietly leaves

I pray your view from heaven dear

Pearly gates and golden streets

Beats the hell out of mine down here
