though I may wish you'd go away
you won't you won't
or leave my thoughts for just a day
you won't you won't

shall I surrender to the void I cannot see?
you won't you won't
when all that's left here is the place you used to be
you won't you won't

again
You see the saddest thing you know
beneath the shadow of our doubt
the meanings fold, the feelings grow
amidst the mourning flowers

I'm just a fool you can't betray
you won't you won't
though I've no gift to give away
you won't you won't

for that forever we shall be in harmony
you won't you won't
though you are nothing but another one of me
you won't you won't

again
you see the brightest thing on earth
within the presence of your mouth
just like the sage whose holy verse
sustains the mourning flowers
