lyrics

A golden goddess dressed in white
Makes feathered wings for flight
Her apple-scented robes go free
Her beauty makes you want to be
Closer, closer, you cannot fight
And you lost yourself that night

And if she wanted you to die
You need only look to the sky
There the birds of love fly 'round
They are spirits singing loud
And they will fall down to the ground
Wondering not what was lost but what was found

Too many days pass too soon
Too many lies echo through your room
Beyond the walls to find her there
Among the birds up in the air
In the air

I must be gone my time is soon
I'm a wolf, I'm howling to the moon
So do not mourn the love that's lost
You are a man but at what cost?
