Harp of Jade

Drinking baijiu,
Thinking of you,
And that lovely night ,
That ended far too soon.
My silken sleeves are wet,
With teardrops of regret,
Upon my harp of jade I play,
The same song that you played,
For me the night you died,
Your gown was pink,
The stars burned bright,
You said you saw a raven or a maiden hovering,
But I could not protect you from a ghost I could not see.
The blossom of the plum,
The setting of the sun,
Dancing in the moonlight,
Yet by midnight you were gone,
From me, oh love! Our fate--
So beautiful to watch,
Very difficult to play.
Oh woe is me! Our destiny,
Is cold but sweet,
Like a harp of jade.
Oh my love, what have I done?

Would You Love Me?

Lay my bones out in the backyard,
Say a prayer--now say it backward,
Though this dream may be a nightmare,
Would you love me, love me?

Mercedes

Look out upon the Bay of Marseilles, think of me,
Oh, I don't blame you for moving on.
I'm sure it burned when you learned that I was dead and gone,
But girl, it hurt when I heard that you moved on.
Oh, Mercedes,
Walking through your garden,
Mercedes, playing your guitar,
Before your portrait on his wall--
Your painted smile says it all,
Oh, is this what we've become?
A silver bullet in his gun,
Oh, my love what have I done?
Oh Mercedes,
Will you become a nun?
Mercedes,
Living only for the sun,
Well I ain't the archangel I thought I was,
Oh, will I be forgiven?
I probably should have stayed away,
Oh, or drowned myself in the bay.

If I was a rose I'd grow to you,
Creep through your bedroom window,
If I was a rose I'd grow to you.
If I was the rain I'd fall,
Into your hair like tears of angels,
If I was the rain I'd fall to you.
For you are the sun that shines,
For you are the diamond fire,
My whole life may I devote to you.
Diamond fire, Diamond fire...
If you are a wild horse,
May I be the grass you trample,
On your way upon some summer's day.
If you are a demoness,
May I be a sorceress,
Will you come when I call out your name?
For you are the sun that shines,
For you cause the dead to rise,
My whole life may I devote to you.
My whole mind consumed in a fire of you.
Diamond fire,
Diamond fire,
Diamond fire,
Diamond fire...
