Daylight had spoken, so clear and so plain: |
|
I'm the keeper of nothin' but an old flame. |
|
Consumed in the shadow, caught in the light, |
|
blinded by hunger, and fed to the night. |
|
Darlin', you came to me like a dream in this endless blight (fight? fog?). |
|
My heart was reachin', so tangled, entwined |
|
Like vines in the willow, serpentine killer, bound by his kind. |
|
Glory was callin', she wailed and she whined |
|
Higher and higher, "Leave it all behind!" |
|
Darlin', you came to me in the glory I'd longed to find. |
|
My search was unending, and my soul was bare. |
|
Darlin', you came to me like a midnight flare |
|
Out of the ocean. The stars had all gone: |
|
My heart was broken, lost and alone. |
|
Darlin', you came to me like a beacon, leadin' me home. |
