Draw it well and make it clear
Decide what you are what to show
Strip down for me and then I'll know
And on the stone I'll begin to etch
The primal outlines of a soul sketch
Paint your ghost for me, my love
Make it visible and true enough
Don't let your hands hide your heart
Your ghost is a part of what you are
And on the canvas I'll start to paint
A portrait of you that isn't blank
Trace your wraith for me, my friend
Make it like it's just pretend
Reveal the dark, and keep the light
Both are needed for unerring sight
And in the gold I'll begin to etch
The tiniest portions of a soul sketch
