lyrics

Two squirrels wound around a golden tree,
It's poetry to me, it's poetry to me,
I wander 'mong the stones of the cemetery,
Composing my poetry,
Til from the tomb of your family,
I hear your song,
Like a mermaid or a swan to me,
Calling, calling, calling me,
To your sepulchral balcony,
When I beheld you there,
There were seashells in your hair,
In the darkness glimmering,
You took me in your eyes of green,
You taught to me your name, Pauline,
You blessed me with a cursed key,
When you taught your name to me, Pauline,
Now I can't wake, nor can I sleep,
Since you taught your name to me Pauline,
No I can't wake, nor can I sleep,
Since you taught your name to me, Pauline,
Pauline.

I can't keep my gray from prancing,
For in my dreams I still see you dancing,
Graceful as a praying mantis,
You led me through endlessly lovely dances...
