Lady Teresa

The season's finally turned

And i'm walking down to work

Cause there's much left to be earned in these hours

The snow has finally learned

That she's relinquishing the dirt

I'm so incensed to see the earth that i stop and cry out:

Lady teresa

Could you find me forgiveness?

I would lay down beneath it

And cry in your kisses

Ave natura,

With the sun as my witness

I cannot resist it,

Can't find the reasons

They tell me i should forget you,

But i know that's just business

You are the shadow of heaven,

You are the mother of my sins.

I was buried underneath

A weight i couldn't see

All this concrete covered me, like a shroud...of snow

Silent i called your name

And silently you came

Over the freeways and the trains and i found my lungs again...singing:

Lady teresa

Could you find me forgiveness?

I would lay down beneath it

And cry in your kisses

Ave natura,

With the moon as my witness,

I cannot resist it,

Can't find the reasons

They tell me i should forget you,

But i know thats just business

You are the shadow of eden,

You are the mother of my sins,

You are the water on my lips,

That sinewy death grip,

The siren of instinct,

The ghost i will worship.
