INTRO

VERSE 1
It's your bicycle bells, And your Rembrandt swells
Your children alive and still breathing
It's your look of loss, When you're coming across
Makes me feel like a thief, When you're bleeding

CHORUS
Duchess, Duchess, Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess, Put all the love back in me
I come listening, I touch touching

VERSE 2
It's the Persian sea, Running through your veins
You shed your names, With the seasons
Still they all return with the last remains
And they lay them before you like reasons

CHORUS
Duchess, Duchess, Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess, Put all the love back in me
I come listening, I touch touching

VERSE 3
It's your shimmering dress, It says no, It says yes
It says i've nothing left for concealing
It's your shiftless flesh, And your old girl's grace
It's your young girl's face That I'm breathing

CHORUS
Duchess, Duchess, Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess, Put all the love back in me
I am lying she is crying
