A stranger has come To share my room in the house not right in the head A girl who's mad as a bird doomed Shot down from heaven's bed Her arms once feathered can carry her no more The oceans have disappeared May I be her refuge in the envy of the word Each time I hold her near Love in the asylum Bittersweet kiss Come to me stranger Rid me of this Through delusive light on the bouncing walls In trenches too narrow to share Dying men of madness roar Of burdens too great to bear On madhouse boards worn and thin By my walking tears In the light of her arms she takes me in And the walls disappear Love in the asylum Bittersweet kiss Come to me stranger Rid me of this Love in the asylum Bittersweet kiss Come to me stranger Rid me of this Love in the asylum Bittersweet kiss Come to me stranger Rid me of this Love in the asylum Bittersweet kiss Come to me stranger Rid me of this
