At the edge of the world

Where you were no one

Yet you were the girl the only one.

At the edge of the world in the desert heat

One shivering star, sweet, indiscreet.

I knew you when we were young

I knew you when we were young

Now you're gone.

In a little narcissus pool, drowned by a spell

We saw ourselves, raw, excitable.

I knew you when we were young

I knew you when we were young

Now you're gone.

We didn't know

The precariousness

Of our young powers

All the emptiness.

Wild wild hair, such sad eyes

White shirt black tie you were mine.

You grabbed the ring of the carousel

Time going from heaven to hell.

I knew you.
