Empty Lives
You don't live the way you should
You're not chaste or wise or good
Oh no, when you're human
I wait for you, my queen
I keep myself ready clean like my maker--against nature
I needn't worry about all the wars out there
The price of fish and all the ineffective hygiene
CHORUS:
You are the reason why I've reached perfection
You are the reason why I try to tend this fertile void
I'm a 13th century boy
These are heroic times
so thumb your nose at years gone by
Be hardened...we're a legend
Now love keeps the cou
Sketches
a. Summer
Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies
The fields are on fire
With green bottleflies
And I'm still seeing reflections
Of me in your eyes
And why did you leave
Last summer?
Now, the seasons are changing
From summer to fall
And I've still got that picture
Hung on my wall
And there's so much forgotten
And too much recalled
And why did you leave
At all?
b. Winter
Standing beside you
Mid-winter day
Hearts beating close
Together.
Wishing that we'd found
Someway to make
That moment last
Forever.
Standing silent--laughing--
Breathing steam
Gazing down into a freezing
stream...
I saw the face of a child
I saw the face of a child.
