lyrics

I'd like to catalog your whispers,
In my library of twilight,
Between erotic letters from Atlantis,
The suicide note of a goddess.
I'd like to document your silence,
Cut it on a ring of vinyl,
Listen to it every midnight,
As the moon mockingly smiles,
At every failure I call a triumph,
At every weed I call a rose,
You and the moon, my precious darling,
Are the only ones who know,

I ain't all that tough,
But even so my love, don't go--
Eternity alone seems awful rough...

Forever isn't long enough,
Forever isn't long enough,
I don't think that I am strong enough,
To go there on my own.

Won't you walk with me through my garden?
Where every statue has a soul,
Don't their pain look oh so elegant,
Among the ivy and the rose?
All thought they could be Medusa's lover,
That they were different than the rest,
all now crumble in my garden--
Will you pass my final test?
As you lean against the baluster,
You let fall a perfumed tear,
Into the calyx of a blossom,
As I whisper in your ear...

Do you have the stuff?
I need a lover I can trust,
So, will you sign your name in blood?

Forever isn't long enough,
Forever isn't long enough,
I don't think that I am strong enough,
To go there on my own.
Forever isn't long enough,
Forever isn't long enough,
Though every single star may turn to dust,
Forever isn't long...
