Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum
Feather on the breath of the mother tongue
Awake in full bloom with the sleeping sun
Pomegranate jewel between lip and thumb
[Verse 2]
We are only
Love and longing
We are only
Love and longing
[Verse 3]
It's all clearer beyond fawn and weather
Hands and cheek and flowers pressed together
When the sea and sky are one like mirror
When the wind and river are old lovers
[Verse 4]
We are only
Love and longing
We are only
Love and longing, oh
[Verse 5]
You could get through to the blood and marrow
You, you could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
[Verse 6]
And silently
Bathe the body in silence
Bathe the body in silence
And let it eat you alive
[Verse 7]
You, you could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
[Verse 8]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum
