[00:38.26](the second acoustic song in "still life".....)
[00:47.59]
[00:49.56]By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
[00:55.70]The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
[01:01.70]No joy would flicker in her eyes
[01:07.72]Brooding sadness came to a rise
[01:16.95]
[01:42.45]Words would falter to atone
[01:48.59]Failure had passed the stepping stone
[01:54.34]She had sworn her vows to another
[02:00.62]This is when no one will bother
[02:06.87]
[02:07.36]And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
[02:12.50]A harlot of God upon the earth
[02:18.86]Found where she sacrificed her ways
[02:24.62]That hollow love in her face
[02:34.92]
[02:57.46]Still I plotted to have her back
[03:04.73]The contentment that would fill the crack
[03:10.26]My soul released a fluttering sigh
[03:16.76]This day fell, the darkness nigh
[03:26.46]
[05:05.67]I took her by the hands to say
[05:11.34]All faith forever has been led astray
[05:18.22]I returned for you in great dismay
[05:24.73]Come with me far away to stay
[05:35.53]
[05:44.90]Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
[05:51.04]She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
[05:58.07]But baffled herself with the final line
[06:03.96]My promise is made but my heart is thine
[06:15.59]
