I remember photographs | |
Watercolors of the past | |
He turned and said – you ask much of me | |
Then, when we’d made our peace | |
We lay between the sheets | |
He turned and said – I set you free | |
Go on, be a hero, be a photograph | |
Make your own myths | |
Christ, I hope they last longer than mine | |
Wider than the sky we measure time by | |
Go on, be a hero, I set you free | |
Your stagehand lovers have conquered me | |
They’ll send you carnations | |
While smiling faces look on and applaud | |
Go on, go on, go ‘way from me | |
I said – do you wish me dead | |
Lip service to books you’ve read | |
Articles on how to bed a bird in flight | |
You called it love - I called it greed | |
You say – you take what you want | |
I said – you get what you need | |
Go on, be a hero, be a man | |
Make your own destiny if you can | |
Go find a fence, locate a shell | |
And hide yourself | |
Go on, go to hell, go away from me | |
I need no charity | |
He said come unto me | |
I am beauty | |
I am the light | |
Come unto me | |
Hold the darkness and stay the night | |
I am wonder, I am the heart’s delight | |
Tomorrow we’ll fight | |
Come on come on, come on come near to me | |
Come be my fantasy | |
We’ll talk it over again sometime | |
I’ll send some flowers | |
To change your mind | |
But for tonight, turn out the light | |
Hold me – come on, come on | |
Set me free | |
Lend me your charity |
