(Verse 1) Subtle visitor... you arrive in the water and the flower. More than this white head... I hold like a cluster, every hour. Between my hands... a universe confined. A silent truth... I'm trying to find in my mind. (Chorus) Every day you play... with the light of the universe. I go so far as to think... that you own the universe. I like for you to be still... as though you were absent and gone. My voice doesn't touch you... from dusk until dawn. (Verse 2) It seems your eyes had flown away... a distant, clouded sky. A kiss had sealed your mouth... a silent, sweet goodbye. But my words rained over you... a gentle, falling storm. Stroking you... keeping you... safe and warm. (Chorus) Every day you play... with the light of the universe. I go so far as to think... that you own the universe. I like for you to be still... as though you were absent and gone. My voice doesn't touch you... from dusk until dawn. (Bridge) A long time... I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body. I will bring you happy flowers... bluebells, dark hazels, from the mountains, for you. These rustic baskets of kisses... I have gathered them, it's true. I want to do with you... what spring does with the cherry trees. (Let this line hang in the air, echoed slightly) (Outro) What spring does... with the cherry trees... cherry trees...
