with stones in my throat, i am asking a question
such that the answer would be your confession
they look to a third party
and they know a place
my spirit without this vessel over the summit
walking torward the stars into the infinite
they wake up all at once
and they know a place
AND AT WHAT POINT WOULD MY FRIEND
BE LOOKING DOWN the CLIFF of SANITY?
, she asks me to jump first
, she asks me to jump first
NOW
when i'm without her, my heart is at a loss
she's as sharp as any nail on the Cross
she left me like words leave the mouth behind
my coffin's in the river, i'll make it home on time
the door is locked, i'm a lonesome groom
when i saw Saint Rita sleeping in the next room
and when the time comes, i'll be on my way
but first tomorrow must be yesterday
i was walking across the board
like a bishop to checkmate
like a bishop to checkmate
i was a child
baptized in cold blood
and i want to call you Father
but it's not true
and I'm moving on now
still I will love you .....
and they know a place
it's been too long since i've seen you
been since you taught me what to do
since when we used to wake up
with them roosters...............
it's been too long since i found you
been since i was always around you
since when we used to wake up
to Julian singing ............

that look in your eyes , that sawdust floor
your father came in your bedroom door
and started talking fast
my feelings for you are something more
than a tree that grew outside the store
when your arm was in a cast
your father came in and told me to leave
when he found out what we believe
the glory of the light in the sky
then i walked home i started to grieve
because i knew your love i couldn't retrieve
and then i started to cry
and i remember on a london stage
you looked at me and kissed my rage
and told me not to worry
and in brother's bed you touched my face
and then the lord he took your place
you said that you were sorry
and when you left for the first time
you lied and went to anaheim
instead of texas like you said
you called me , you've made up your mind
and i knew i couldn't hold you behind
so i kissed you on your forehead

i'll miss so much about it here
now it's time for me to leave
i'm on the train that's gonna take me away
and my heart's in disbelief
i'd bring you along if i could
your crying won't do us no good
maybe i should let you know
that baby it's time for me to go
i've spent so many hours
just thinking of you face
now there's a stranger
who's taken your place
i loved you like you were my own
now i'm gone and i'm all alone
your kiss was the only one
i had ever known
i wore the faces of a thousand different men
still you stayed constant again and again
now your answer to us is no
and baby it's time for me to go
i've spent so many hours
just thinking of you face
now there's a stranger
who's taken your place

it's such a waste, your juliette face
you're speaking without any sound
have you any love, my mourning dove
why won't you turn around?
your texan kindness, this lover's crisis
feels like a cold burning flame
and what could i do to stay beside you
my breath was wasted on your name
this cardinal choice, your murmuring voice
something shifted while i was away
that upward glance, my allusive
advance torward you my love was on display
you tore me apart when i fed you my heart
then you spat it back out to me
and i won't soon forget my faltering bet
now i'll have to let you be
judas' betrayal and i'm on trial
all i want is to feel your fire
instead i offend my beautiful friend
with my lonely, jealous desire
the lunar eclipse hushes my lips
when the mourning dove flies near
she cast me aside with all of her lies
then she flew away from here
elizabeth speaks of your silken cheeks
i'll wake up tomorrow morn
there's nothing more, come through the door
my mind is scattered and worn
you looked in my eyes and i was surprised
when you grabbed my wrists
o how we danced and our time elasped
but inexact was our kiss

white river rapids so winding by us
then the chaliced wine could try us
to judge such memory without bias
it's not who we are inside of callus
but now with you, within i swam too far
too away find you and out to we are
your metal piece that left love's scar
around my neck with crown of wire (wi-AR)
i'm alone at the altar
turningg gold into lead
give to me your water
let me make your bed
i was young when i left the ivy alone
next stumbled upon her raven's throne
and it was for a time i would grown
like moss on the back hand of a stone
she wore corsage of peachpit and sage
freed the raven from keeper's n cage
who bled white blood onto that flat page
until then this moment of enough age

wring me out and let me dry
stay a while to watch me die
your only purpose in this life
is to love and shine the light
your affection is dangerous
to someone like me
makes my heart run wild
you are all that i see
only your tears can put out
this fire in my heart
so much time was spent
but we never learned our part
i receive the love you're giving
it makes me whole
you are the river i swim in
and i am the bull
