Valentine Melody - Tim Buckley

You came to me with fire inside

Your movements and your pride

And asking to be rescued from

The pain you had become

I tore apart the prison and I hid you in my hand

In the blue light of Christmas-time Santa Claus was kind

I wonder if you’ll ever grow

Oh far enough to throw

Away the lies of no and yes

And love my quietness

Or will you only freeze and frown and lose what you have found?

In the white light of Easter seas’n will you live again?

Today the coin is in the air

And we are here and there

And where and when have caught us in

The web of violence

I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun

In the scarlet light of Valentine’s our paper hearts are blind
