As you whispered me all of your secrets
when you opened the closet door wide,
let me sift through the corsets and trinkets
then I plundered the treasures inside

While we drowned in the depth of the shadows
with our bodies in rapture entwined
as you murmured a word that still echoes
and its yearning returns to my mind

Just this morning while drinking our coffee
cross the hall from your palace of sin
where you offered up more than your body,
let me sip from the chalice again
