Illuminate Yourself Lyrics

The kids all brought us flowers

When we got out of bed

They were wearing white linen

Garlands covered their heads

We breakfasted in the orchard

There were doves all around

And Francesca, she lay among the leaves

And dew on the ground

She would look up at no one

She would not make a sound

The staff tried to act like everything was fine

Said she was just tightly wound

While they served our frittatas

Worried murmuring began

The dog walked around sniffing her hair

And licked her unmoving hand

Andre crouched down beside her

He put his hand on her head

She reached up and she slapped it away

So we knew she wasn't dead

In all the commotion

Our chance to get away came

We ran off through the trees hand in hand

With our stolen champagne

You had brought our dream journals

We did terrible things

At the moment the sun broke through the clouds

We both started to sing

In that cool wooded hollow

On a carpet of moss

For the last time, illuminate yourself

For the last time

For the last time, illuminate yourself

For the last time
