about

And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
"It is the time I have wasted for my rose — " said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..."
"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,

lyrics

the sand it shines
in the moonlight
(reminding what others have forgotten)

and she's all mine
and i'd be blind
(for any other flower besides her)

and what a ...strange world

the fox secret i keep
buried underneath
my fragile body

and when i fall asleep
blank
oh how my flower haunts me

and what a ...strange world

and i can hear you laughing
with the stars at night
and i can hear you sobbing
is your true love all right

the prince wondered why
the children grew old

his body was too heavy
all he needed was his soul
