Sometimes i find i get to thinking of the past. We swore to each other then that our love would surely last. You kept right on loving, i went on a fast, Now i am too thin and your love is too vast. But i know from your eyes And i know from your smile […]
I cannot follow you, my love, You cannot follow me. I am the distance you put between All of the moments that we will be. You know who i am, You’ve stared at the sun, Well i am the one who loves Changing from nothing to one. Sometimes i need you naked, Sometimes i need […]
I came upon a butcher, He was slaughtering a lamb, I accused him there With his tortured lamb. He said, "listen to me, child, I am what i am and you, you are my only son." Well, i found a silver needle, I put it into my arm. It did some good, Did some harm. […]
I finally broke into the prison, I found my place in the chain. Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows, All the brave young men They’re waiting now to see a signal Which some killer will be lighting for pay. Into this furnace i ask you now to venture, You whom i cannot betray. I fought […]

The door it opened slowly, My father he came in,was nine years old. And he stood so tall above me, His blue eyes they were shining And his voice was very cold. He said, "i’ve had a vision And you know i’m strong and holy, I must do what i’ve been told." So he started […]
I came by myself to a very crowded place; I was looking for someone who had lines in her face. I found her there but she was past all concern; I asked her to hold me, I said, ‘Lady, unfold me,’ But she scorned me and she told me I was dead and I could […]
