That's Tony McManus on guitar. I'm playing my new bouzouki. Alain Genty is on bass.

She would writhe in the night
Choked cries fearing someone might hear
Wrapped my arms round her tight
Moonlight on a river of tears

Gets these hooks in your heart
To be needed that way
I miss holding her heart
She is better these days

Did I feed on her need?
Blood bleeds the illusion of love
I stood witness to grief
Pale thief of the leavings of love
