Lament For My Suzanne Lyrics by Current 93
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
There's the odour of incense
And I double in pain
And I flick through the past
As arrayed in my mind
On a bed in a room
That's locked on some hill
I'm gripping her hand
As she cries to the wall

The years stumble away
And the pain dissipates
Suzanne's clad in blues
With a mark in her hand
The lines 'round her lips
Are now scars in my mind
Down at the quayside
Through the sun's rising mists
Suzanne draws me down
"All this world's in your mind"
Can salvation emerge
From the heart of this dream
Where the horses run formless
And the sky cancells its stars
Then the fumes of the incense
Rise across the walls
And she watches me sideways
Like the world is on fire
Between the beat of her heart
And her gesture of fingers
The twist of her hands
As it beckons through me
She smiles through my pain
And the loss yet to come
And the candlewax melts
And the waters then stop shining
There's the odour of incense   And I double in pain   And I flick through the past   As arrayed in my mind   On a bed in a room   That's locked on some hill   I'm gripping her hand   As she cries to the wall      The years stumble away   And the pain dissipates   Suzanne's clad in blues   With a mark in her hand   The lines 'round her lips   Are now scars in my mind   Down at the quayside   Through the sun's rising mists   Suzanne draws me down   "All this world's in your mind"   Can salvation emerge   From the heart of this dream   Where the horses run formless   And the sky cancells its stars   Then the fumes of the incense   Rise across the walls   And she watches me sideways   Like the world is on fire   Between the beat of her heart   And her gesture of fingers   The twist of her hands   As it beckons through me   She smiles through my pain   And the loss yet to come   And the candlewax melts   And the waters then stop shining
