|
I was tired of being drunk. |
|
My face cracked like a joke. |
|
So I swung through herelike a brace of jackrabbits,with their necks all broke. |
|
I stumbled at the door with my boot,and |
|
I knocked against the jamb.and |
|
I scrabbled at your chest, like a mute,with my fists of ham.trying to tell you that |
|
I amtelling you |
|
I can--I canlove you again;love you again. |
|
I'm squinting towards the |
|
East.My faith makes me a dope. |
|
But you can take my hand,in the darkness, darling,like a length of rope. |
|
I shaped up overnight, you know,the day after she died.when |
|
I saw my heart,and |
|
I'll tell you, darling,it was open wide.what with telling you |
|
I amtelling you |
|
I can--I canlove you again;love you again. |
|
It can have no bounds, you know. |
|
It can have no end. |
|
You can take my handin the darkness, darling,when you need a friend. |
|
And it can change in shape or form,but never change in size. |
|
Well the water, it ran deep, my darling,where it don't run wide. |
|
The feather of a hawk was bound,bound around my neck;a poultice made of fig,the eager little vultures pecked. |
|
And a verse |
|
I read in jestin |
|
Matthew, spoke to me;said |
|
There's a flame that moveslike a low-down pestand says, |
|
You will be freeonly, tell me that |
|
I cantell me that |
|
I can:I can love you again;love you again. |
