Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem Lyrics - Peter Murphy

My mother loved it so she said 

sad eyed pearl and drop lips 

glancing pierce through writer man 

spoke hushed and frailing hips 

her old eyes skim in creasing lids 

a tear falls as she describes 

approaching death with a yearning heart 

with pride and no despise 

Hot tears flow as she recounts 

her favorite worded token 

forgive me please for hurting so 

don't go away heartbroken no 

don't go away heartbroken no

Just wise owl tones no velvet lies 

crush her velvet call

who write you on the wall 

and hold your tongue about your life 

or dead hands will change the plot 

will make your loving sound like snakes 

like you were never hot
