lyrics

I was born in springtime
Cherry blossoms in the trees
On the equinox, a sign
So my mother told me
The world was bursting just for me
Every budding flower was mine

Come and set the table
Bring the feast and pour the wine
I cannot live on only bread
I need endless summers
I need shivers down my spine
Need a lover in my bed

Tell me again how a man is not an island
‘Cause I am alone when the feeling fades away

King of the empire
A part that’s bound to break my heart

Now my empire’s falling
My dominion turns to dust
All my dinner in decay
I am washed and naked
I am winter to the touch
Laying down to wake again

Tell me again how a night becomes a morning
‘Cause I am alone while the music fades
