[English]

I will not pick flowers for you,

For I choose not to kill.

But instead,

I'll take your hand

and show you a pair of wild daisies in full bloom,

never before seen by human eyes.

They stand unaware of our presence,

not knowing that our minds are like leeches clinging to their soft innocent petals.

They stand naked in all their glory,

branching from the same stem.

Stretching for the sun as it dries the tears from their face.

We'll go now, leaving them undisturbed.

And stop when the sun calls us.

Then we two will be naked,

and needed each other, all that we are.

I will be of you, as you will be of me.

I will be of you, as you will be of me.

And then the sun will only see one.

Down dusty roads to red hills on the rise.

With rifles cocked, bandanas on their eyes.

A pair of thieves can ride in in the dark.

And they both went down with bullets in their hearts.

And so it’s all gone, nothing left to go behind.

I knew I had to disappear that night.

I swear to you, I will disappear tonight.

With my eyes closed tight, you're the one thing on my mind.

Where'd you go? Where'd you go when you die?

I don't know.

But a heavy hand takes its toll.

Where'd you go? Where'd you go when you die?

I don't know.

I just know we all go out alone.

But the devil can't touch my soul.

I just know we all go out alone.

But the devil can't touch my soul.

And then the sun will only see one.

The moon will rise, the sun will dance away.

I dug an empty grave and wrote my name.

You never do go back from where you came.

When you've lived a life of fire and of rain.

Where'd you go? Where'd you go when you die?

I don't know.

But a heavy hand takes its toll.

Where'd you go? Where'd you go when you die?

I don't know.

I just know we all go out alone.

But the devil can't touch my soul.

I just know we all go out alone.

But the devil can't touch my soul.

I will be of you, as you will be of me.

And we will be me as we will be you.

All that we are is that which we give of ourselves to each other.

And then the sun will only see one.
