its alright mother dear i can find my way, i'll smile at the sun and sing as your second son in the hazy morning of this hazel day i made my makeshift bed even though i'm feeling dead cause you told me, baby open your eyes and know its not only to wake but to move in the day you make on on and on it goes this sphere submerged in glass sunrise and sunset are long lost lovers at last oh brother, your body is in fleshly form a lovely still life of the land with the melt held within your hands you haven't let habits take the time of day to hold hostage the man that you've made it's a sturdy foundation you've laid on on and on it goes this sphere submerged in glass long gone is our time at home but brother i've got this feeling we'll never be alone we'll never be alone

i am here before you conquered totally, honestly by a body so fair and a face so clear well formed she is, yes, everywhere i rarely see her, oh woe is me but she's always right her with me, justly because i sing all these words about her right here on my shoulder she pulls my collar and beckons to see her physically and forget about this figure sitting on my shirt oh i miss you shepardess but this is my offering best that in the court i confess that i would like to court you, miss when my mind no longer wanders fair and free, aimlessly happily i'll stop in on your family and if love and luck are truly existing i'll touch you physically and i can finally stop talking tot his figure sitting on my shirt oh i miss you shepardess but this is my offering best that in the court i confess that i would like to court you, miss

when the season was right for me to be harvested so as to share my body you were there under the sky with a stomach bigger than your bright blue eyes but the rain never came and the harvest was lost you didn't want to leave but you eventually grew tired of being starved you can't make it far with hands that are dried out to the bone no you can't make it home on bread and water alone its been so dry i've to see anything green west of the mississippi oh and i know when you were laid lateral i could flee the fires in the skin above your clavical but the safety you gave went when you stood to walk away now that you're vertical i know that the heat will be worse when you tell me that i can't stay but i can't make it far with these hands dried out to the bone no i can't make it home on bread and water alone i can't make it far with these dried to the bone no i already left you once on bread and water alone i don't believe half of what people tell me but when you say that you see too much age in my eyes for the passage of time since you silently loved me i believe

while the mockingbird sings both night and day i am with my beautiful beneath the flowers until our sentry from the tower cries "lovers get up for i clearly see the sunrise and the day you must get away you must get away for i clearly see the sunrise and the day"

its been light long enough to see all the sites and all this time ive heard the twisting of your tounge in my sleep each night its been so bright here on this hill perfect for still life photographs taken through window sills of ships as theyre sailing our new friends flaling thier arms but behind this glass our time is passing so fast all the houses on those city streets hold all the people in the world i'd like to meet but life does not provide the time before you die so every hand i hold is multiplied by a hundred lives in an attempt to assuage my mind and feel at ease because at least i know i tried these dreams of mine flash in the night a fleeting moment lost in time a dancing princess stops and calmly holds her eyes it was enthralling up until the sun set slowly now the only thing thats left to fill our eyes are white diamonds and veins of red lightning that say it will never be as easy as "how do you do, i love you but now its time to leave" but all the houses on those city streets ive yet to see hold all those people still to meet it tears your heart apart if you truly try cause every hand i hold is a love of mine with a handshake that unfolds into a wave goodbye you see so many by the time you die so every hand i hold is multiplied by a hundred lives in an attempt to assuage my mind and feel at ease becasue i least i know i tried

between four eyes i've lost my life outside their view is obscure light they look like they're cast from some shimmering sand oh god, come calm my trembling hands if two paths diverged from a road in wood and each led to a maidens body bathed in gold i should not waiver empty as my pockets stand oh god, come calm these trembling hands steady feet urge me forward, keep forging ahead but my shaky hands prefer the path i've led i should not linger lost as i am oh god, come calm these trembling hands so is it, i ask, for the love a girl worth it to give up what you do in the world that makes it momentous to be called a man oh god come calm these trembling hands but can i call this courtly cherade real love when its not what i'm lost in but its just enough for me for a spell to forget where i am oh god, come calm these trembling hands

these trembling hands had lightning under their skin blue veins of bubbling blood left stains that haven't faded since i left you on that day like birds we flew away if i just exist for the next ten minutes that will be fine then i'll return to an empty room once again resigned to rest my weary head and hope i will see you again i wrote you a letter i can recite it from memory i accomplished what i tried to tell you everything but now theres nothing left for me inside it said ive sent you all of my clothes in a box and i will come one day when we fall in time to reclaim whats mine you can wear them while i'm away and when it gets terribly cold would you wear my sweater with all of the holes? i know how it feels, and it haunts me and it must feel the same as when our bench stays after we've walked away and leave it there to age but if it splinters all its skin by the time we talk again we may not know just which one ours is and ill never see you again i fear ill never see you again i fear ill never see you again

welcome to new york in the wintertime the sadness on the streets is all but inside still the desperate ask for smokes with their frozen hands its best just not to think there was a mother for each man i'll roll a cigarette for a fairy tale and pick my pockets clean for some hot air in my sail like "what we'll be is not determined by who we were" and that "we're not all meant for the modern world" if you decide to stay we'll be flesh and bone you'll start being alive and i'll stop living alone i want to know does feeling old lighten up with age as we lose the strength to shoulder all the blame you say that age is just a number we can't escape but i prepare each night to wake and die after the dawn breaks you say that we should ride the fuck out of here and i know that you're right but i'll stay for just one more year

oh the worlds a stage and i swear im always being watched so please direct my drifting stare and cue me when this conversation stops on all those strange streets i lost and forgot what excited me oh i jumped into the sea and left the universe on your ceiling oh this old life just ain't what it used to be and now the greatest gravity has pulled all of my fake stars to the ground i got one foot on my bus and one on your front stair its just too much or not enough and talking is just spitting in the air i haven't slept since i started dreaming memories of a dancer on the street but i haven't danced since i got these cold feet and oh this old life just ain't what it used to be and now the greatest gravity has pulled all our high notes to the ground if i came to you one day maybe someday would you marry me but as i'm packing darling please don't fall in love with everyone you see because sometimes you can be a bit like and oh this old life just ain't what it used to be and now the greatest gravity has pulled all of my high hopes to the ground

for so long i've been away from home how wonderful its been to drain my dreamy head here and know i'll never come again ill leave you in the morning light for there are empty ears to fill to you it seems im always moving but i'm travelling standing still my father was a farmer i the second of two sons sometimes i guess what he was thinking as the last breath left his lungs i write them in a pad of paper and then burn them into ash so he can read them too and write 'too bad, i'm never coming back' i feel pity for this city as it crumbles into dust but all you pretty little girls find your way here to get lost i make my way through the perfume parade and to the duchess i confess that the smell i miss the most is of an honest shepardess anything you try to tell me i will only close my ears because you change the meaning of a word and its solely for a sneer when i mistake what you say which makes me much lesser a man in the hole behind your mirror eyes and the folds of your soft hands there's more of you inside of me than i care for there to be don't you feel worse when you feel better than a brother, but whos the best here where gossip is a gospel and time spent talking's just a test of who can confuse the most of us plain dressed modest men i hold my holy humble heart here for you to halve in two

in my first dream i was in a house i've never seen it was mine, it was mine i tried so hard to but i couldn't find you in my first dream i was in a house i've never seen i was lost, i was lost why were you hiding i almost gave up trying we can see our souls with an idiots mind so empty and so free, so free from their illusions from our abuses sometimes i only see the sky so i watch the fluid in my eyes as it moves, it moves but when i see the ground again i'm still nowhere you have ever been in my first dream i was in a house i've never seen i was alone, alone i know what happened you went off dancing i can see you from my window and i know why had you to go
