Valentine

Mt. Desolation

Compositor: Jesse Quin / Tim Rice-Oxley

Two lovers disturb the dust
Black waterembrace us
Dried flowers and turpentine, valentine

Your beauty uprooted me
Crude, hopeless desire in me
Thoughts churning in a sea of wine, valentine

Valentine, oh, my valentine
Say goodbye, oh, my valentine

Cold chemicals thin my blood
But no charm can hold me back the flood
Wires cut between the heart and mind, valentine, valentine

Valentine, oh, my valentine
Say goodbye, oh my valentine
You'll be no one's if you'll not be mine
Valentine, oh, my valentine

Pale as the sky, over your face a veil of dew
Sinking like coins, all of the dreams I made for you
Cover her eyes, sleep like a child, valentine

Oh, valentine
Lay a wildflower by the riverside
And say goodbye oh my valentine
