As You Are Now lyrics

I will take up all your tears salty tissues through the years spread them in the sun to dry diamonds from each time you cry I will treasure all your teeth your laughter and the pearls beneath keep them in a cardboard box through the tickings and the tocks I will gather all your hair floating in the sultry air we will make a braid of gold for you to keep when you are old now I kiss your milky skin sheet of silk and soul within put this kiss upon your brow treasure you as you are now
