At the edge of the world Where you were no one Yet you were the girl The only one At the edge of the world In the desert heat One shivering star Sweet indiscreet
I knew you When we were young I knew you Now you're gone
In a little Narcissus pool Drawn by its spell We saw ourselves Raw excitable I knew you When we were young I knew you Now you're gone
We didn't know The precariousness Of our young powers All the emptiness
Wild,wild hair Sad,sad eyes White shirt black tie You were mine
You grabbed the ring Of the carousel Tangoing From Heaven to Hell I knew you
