A vale of tears, the colour of amber
It means hesitation
To you or me
A veil of fears, I hide my eyes
They're not windows to my soul
Becauce I havent got one.
I loved you in the old church hall
I loved you on the dirt track
That ran between the drift
And the hardware store, backed against
A row of dirty lockups
Full of stolen goods
Or something
I wore an LA Raiders jacket
With a bottle of sheery in each arm
The time is not suspended
But I am suspended
Within.
Hurts the insteps of my feet
To walk on the red and black
I am everything you never said
I never touched you
Were it counted
My love, my love, my love
Sun like worn out glasspaper
Friendly and warm, the embrace
Leaves no marks anymore
Im not so dramatic
To hurt myself
If nobody can see
Push down my baseball cap
I follow the younger gods
And know the Elder, in my head
All roads the same
All roads the same
For you and you and me and you
Kiss kick punch football face
never never never
Again
