[extracts from a song]


i am the altar to the bride who is running away
i am the hatchet unburied not a trace of regret
i am the asp to cleopatra not a trace of regret
i am midnight to cinderella not a trace of regret
i am the tusk to the elephant not a trace of regret
i am not tonight josephine not a trace of regret
i am i love you he said in vain without a trace of regret
