|
It took heart to stay and share a life |
|
In return I pledged to keep an eye |
|
On the ravens on the wire |
|
On the serpents in the mire |
|
We were lovers you and I |
|
We loved and time went by |
|
Eyes are beads and feet are clay |
|
You would not be scared away |
|
Fireflies and satellites |
|
In the dead of night |
|
When you warned me |
|
"There's a snake nearby." |
|
Arms like sticks and hands of hay |
|
Failed us when you slipped away |
|
Now I'm sad to be alive |
|
And I urge the sands of time |
|
Send your last remaining grains |
|
Bleeding from my strawy veins |
