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 wing 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 Ahhh Arrest these orchids There's something gone Arrest these orchids There's nothing blooming Ahhh Arrest these orchids There's something gone Arrest these orchids
