It's your bicycle bells
And your Rembrandt swells
You're children like
And still breathin'
It's your look of loss
When you're comin' across
Makes me feel like a thief
When you're bleedin'
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess, 
DuchessPut all the love back in me
It's the Persian sea
Runnin' through your veins
You shed your names
With the seasons
Still they all return
With there last remains
And they lay them before you
Like breezes
It's your shimmerin' dress
It says, no
It says, yes
It says, I've nothing left for concealin'
It's your shapeless flesh
And your old girl's grace
It's your young girl's face
That I'm breathin'
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess, 
DuchessPut all the love back in me
I'm lyingShe's crying
