[Verse 1]
Spending this much time
In my naked body’s
Not making it familiar to me
Trying to get used to it
I read what's on me
See-through blue’s the colour
True love leaves in tiny

[Chorus]
Marks, gone so soon
Quiet stars in mid-afternoon
Pale

[Verse 2]
“It doesn’t make me feel young”
I say “It’s something more motherly”
I’ll leave in his arms if it’s not I who has to carry
When the night rolls in
A tongue that holds me softly
I'll melt into sleep
And then am told a different story

[Chorus]
In dreams gone so soon
Roaring streams taking me to you
Pale
Pale
Pale
Pale
Gone
