Arrest this woman

Showered under some tears

When no light shines

But the garden's in bloom

For every fragile light

Is marked by clouds

Cast from grey memories

And time is feeling like a scraping wind

A distant frost, a murmured spring

And though I never feel an older's wrath

Convention seems an easier path

Under the sheltered morning

The emperor longs the frame

For whoever turned the light on

I thank you

Arrest these orchids

That hide behind the light

Until the morning comes

Arrest this woman

My shelter from the night

Arrest these orchids

There's something gone

Arrest these orchids

There's nothing blooming

Arrest these orchids

There's something gone

Arrest these orchids
