Mausoleum

Come inside my mausoleum Light a candle of the pathway to my casket room Step on through rusty iron archways Where a pigeon lays It died without his lover So strange and beautiful How you gaze upon my bones Mistake a tragedy Since we'd missed eachother by centuries They took my clothes and sent to a museum All I am is dust, and a handlebar mustachio They took my guns and horse and swords for history But they kindly left a photograph of you and me You dress so beautiful On those cliffs that took your soul But I reach for you as you drifted out to sea Since we'd missed eachother by centuries Your fine lips, I would kiss you again So don't be frightened by my skeleton I'd kill to touch your soft bony hands But I can't, because this is my lover's century So strange and beautiful How you gaze upon my bones Before you leave me out to sea I'll visit your bones next century
