Are you still in control of the boat that you row |
|
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking |
|
I never condemned you, |
|
I only consoled you |
|
When candlelight made me a |
|
KingFor the wide-eyed and laughing |
|
Passed like a season, erasing a passion to sin |
|
For no one knew better than the tea leaves and the tarots |
|
That the wide-eyed and laughing |
|
Were just one step ahead of the wind |
|
And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me |
|
Was a song that |
|
I'd heard in the past |
|
For I had an audience somewhere inside you |
|
That applauded whenever you laughed |
|
Gone is a word that |
|
I now rarely use |
|
Though sometime in the course of a day |
|
I go racing back like a man possessed |
|
By the wide-eyed and laughing |
