| [00:29.398] | upon the autumn streets when the city is away |
| [00:33.348] | on some lonesome quest for winter |
| [00:36.486] | the man who sings his poems unravels his display |
| [00:41.541] | and the neon spectrums turn to splinters |
| [00:46.248] | and the nights are cold sometimes, but never for his pages |
| [00:50.754] | they don't sway against this wilderof the stage |
| [00:55.474] | and the ageless battle cries I unearthed from my eyes |
| [01:00.181] | no longer writhe because the singing poet is wise |
| [01:04.448] | |
| [01:06.174] | they said that love of mine won't wither |
| [01:09.228] | that time will bring a treasure trove of things |
| [01:13.089] | and the shadows now are just a sliver |
| [01:17.539] | but still it stings |
| [01:19.176] | but it doesn't matter |
| [01:21.032] | when the poet sings |
| [01:24.248] | |
| [01:41.959] | under the smoky chimes of roll up cigarettes and rhymes |
| [01:45.645] | beneath the ponds of makeshift filters |
| [01:49.764] | he told me that my sorries were really not worth their weight sometimes |
| [01:55.123] | and it was best to let them wither |
| [01:59.301] | and though I've sung and rung those bells of innocence undone |
| [02:04.072] | with the side of the sun |
| [02:07.375] | but within his song I sail amongst the sounds where sunlight fell |
| [02:13.390] | when my experience begun |
| [02:16.148] | and when I'm weather-worn the virtues of my mind have torn away |
| [02:23.092] | and no such sounds won't stray |
| [02:26.755] | |
| [02:27.286] | and if I keep my sorries they'll not wither |
| [02:30.217] | and time will bring a treasure trove of things |
| [02:34.262] | and the shadows now are just a sliver |
| [02:38.548] | but still it stings |
| [02:40.212] | but it doesn't matter |
| [02:42.785] | when the poet sings |
| [02:48.398] | |
| [03:02.724] | and when this drifting debutante Madonna's come of age |
| [03:06.397] | and her days of youth are over |
| [03:10.534] | she and I will both surmise that the poet's song will brush aside this man |
| [03:16.662] | just as the infant's sorrows hold her |
| [03:19.940] | and on the day that I am slayed and by the colors of my mind betrayed |
| [03:25.212] | on the silence of the stage |
| [03:28.200] | the poet's song will set apart and turn to flames my weary rungs |
| [03:33.975] | and set my phenomenons ablaze |
| [03:38.328] | |
| [03:39.384] | he said my charming death would wither |
| [03:41.986] | and time would bring a treasure trove of things |
| [03:46.798] | and the shadows now are just a sliver |
| [03:50.499] | but still it stings |
| [03:53.380] | but it doesn't matter |
