[Intro]
Duh-duh, you, duh-duh, you
Duh-duh, you, duh-duh, you

[Verse 1]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum (Duh-duh, you)
Feather on the breath of the mother tongue
Awake in full bloom with the sleeping sun
Pomegranate jewel between lip and thumb

[Chorus]
We are only, love and longing
We are only, love and longing
Duh-duh, you
Duh-duh, you
Duh-duh, you, duh

[Verse 2]
It's all clearer beyond fawn and weather
Hands and cheek and flowers pressed together
When the sea and sky are one like mirror
When the wind and river are old lovers

[Chorus]
We are only, love and longing
We are only, love and longing, ah
You could get through to the blood and marrow
You, you could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
[Verse 3]
And silently
Bathe the body in silence
Bathe the body in silence
And let it eat you alive

[Bridge]
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow

[Outro]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum
