Threnody Lyrics - Frida - Frida

Lilacs blossom just as sweet 

Now my heart is shattered 

If I bowled it down the street 

Who's to say it mattered? 

If there's one that rode away 

What would I be missing? 

Lips that taste of tears, they say 

Are the best for kissing 

Eyes that watch the morning star 

Seem a little brighter 

Arms held out to darkness 

Are usually whiter 

Shall I bar the strolling guest? 

Bind my brow with willow 

When, they say, the empty breast 

Is the softer pillow? 

That a heart falls tinkling down 

Never think it ceases 

Every likely lad in town 

Gathers up the pieces 

If there's one gone whistling by 

Would I let it grieve me? 

Let him wonder if I lie 

Let him half believe me
