the pictures on the wall
all look
faded
and
the patterns on your blouse
don't seem quite there
i ask to keep you
no not to leave you in
despair
i've got to leave you
kiss your head (goodbye)
go on now
fly
away
from here
tear stained pupils
paint
a drowning sun
hoarse
from screaming
(like either of us cared)
you ask to keep me
no not to leave me in
despair
you've got to leave me
kiss my head (goodbye)
i'll get on
by
away
from here
you've got other souls
to save
i'll take
this one
to the grave.
