|
I ran a trail of fire |
|
Through the meadow paths |
|
Guided by the river banks |
|
And trees from which |
|
They'll have me hang |
|
Keep running away from the fire |
|
Keep running away from the light |
|
Til it's gone |
|
Are all our summers |
|
At one with the ground? |
|
And everything I loved you for |
|
A trail of fire from the door |
|
That leads me to a hiding place |
|
And locking me inside |
|
How loud this blade of grass |
|
How long til' eventide? |
|
The dark that shroud |
|
Your loving neighbor |
|
He's the one who lit the paper |
|
While the reason's unexpressed |
|
And the sources undetermined |
|
The innocent are voiceless |
|
The voiceless are innocent |
|
Should I cut the middleman? |
|
Just dig a hole and throw me in |
|
Say a prayer to my loving savior |
|
He's the one who lit the paper |
|
From them I strip the title |
|
Extinguished and misuse |
|
And all our engraved memories |
|
Are unsuccessful remedies |
|
I'm sick of papering the cracks |
|
And extinguishing the fire tracks |
|
Though flawed by design |
|
I'm torn from the strife |
|
That did pile at the door |
|
But is feared no more |
|
Though I once wedded her |
|
And her want was to play |
|
As another's arms held |
|
Took her wanting away |
|
Questions on top of questions |
|
Don't think that |
|
It is too late for me |
|
Unsung, untied, unalive |
