Lyrics[]
You will not call my memory into question You will not question my memory See there was you and me up on a hilltop by ourselves And then the red clouds dispersing above me I should have killed myself When I found out how beautiful you are But everyone makes mistakes sometimes As the afternoon sky opened up its mouth And the air cooled down one or two degrees I felt the world within me screaming to come out and then I looked up at you and your hair spilled down over me I felt you breathing on me and I heard your voice Your eyes were twin bonfires and your lips were moist I should have killed myself When I found out how beautiful you are But everyone makes mistakes sometimes
