The golden light was filtered through the leaves and all the while
You were hiding there behind the trees, observing dear Denial
As my owner, quite distracted, bathed in river-water blue
Had her back to you, you picked me up, and even then I knew

Oh Summer, I would make you more than you could ever be
With gossamer wings on your back you'd fly because of me
Oh Summer, I could clasp your heart far tighter than a vice
Greener than the blood of fairykind, your garden's paradise

Make a deal with me, we'll shake on it
Your satisfaction's guaranteed
Make a deal with me, you'll break a bit
But to grow you have to plant a seed

You're living in a world that wants me more than you could know
Keep those nails in your pockets, girl, they'll come for me and so
You better be prepared for those who claim me as their own
But deep down I'm yours, and you are mine, the seed's already sown
It's you and me
Until your soul is mine, until the end of time
A Threnody
I'm waiting patiently for you to set me free. My darling Threnody

The postman with his bag of letters stood outside your door
Telling you that you have lost yourself to cruel Denial's lure
You wouldn't open up for him, you showed you're all to me
But got paranoid and would avoid the safer sanity

Make a deal with me, we'll shake on it
Your satisfaction's guaranteed
Make a deal with me, you'll break a bit
But to grow you have to plant a seed

You're living in a world that wants me more than you could know
Keep those nails in your pockets, girl, they'll come for me and so
You better be prepared for those who claim me as their own
But deep down I'm yours, and you are mine, the seed's already sown
It's you and me
Until your soul is mine, until the end of time
A Threnody
I'm waiting patiently for you to set me free. My darling Threnody

You let him in, you fell for him, you left me in the dust
You believed with such a certainty that I was dangerous
Who gave you wings and plants and things and shade from burning sun
Denial did, your Brier did, and now our friendship's done

Oh Summer, now what have you done the fairies came for you
There's lots of them and one of you whatever will you do
Oh Summer, you can let me go or you can fight for me
Give me more of you, only your loving soul can set me free

Make a deal with me, we'll shake on it
Your satisfaction's guaranteed
Make a deal with me, you'll break a bit
But to grow you have to plant a seed

You're living in a world that wants me more than you could know
You're a fool to make a deal with me and then just let me go
You never were prepared for those who claim me as their own
'Cus right now I'm free, and are not, and you will never grow
It's only me
And now your soul is mine, until the end of time
A Threnody
And now I'm building up a kingdom just for me. My royal Threnody
