Offering and Rebuff lyrics

I could love you

as dry roots love rain.

I could hold you

as branches in the wind

brandish petals.

Forgive me for speaking so soon.

Let your heart look

on white sea spray

and be lonely.

Love is a fool star.

You and a ring of stars

may mention my name

and then forget me.

Love is a fool star.
