| [00:24] | I can't make the hills |
| [00:25] | The system is shot |
| [00:27] | I'm living on pills |
| [00:29] | For which I thank G-d |
| [00:35] | I followed the course |
| [00:37] | From chaos to art |
| [00:39] | Desire the horse |
| [00:42] | Depression the cart |
| [00:49] | I sailed like a swan |
| [00:51] | I sank like a rock |
| [00:53] | But time is long gone |
| [00:56] | Past my laughing stock |
| [01:05] | My page was too white |
| [01:07] | My ink was too thin |
| [01:09] | The day wouldn't write |
| [01:11] | What the night pencilled in |
| [01:18] | My animal howls |
| [01:20] | My angel's upset |
| [01:23] | But I'm not allowed |
| [01:25] | A trace of regret |
| [01:31] | For someone will use |
| [01:33] | What I couldn't be |
| [01:36] | My heart will be hers |
| [01:38] | Impersonally |
| [01:44] | She'll step on the path |
| [01:45] | She'll see what I mean |
| [01:50] | My will cut in half |
| [01:51] | And freedom between |
| [01:57] | For less than a second |
| [02:01] | Our lives will collide |
| [02:02] | The endless suspended |
| [02:05] | The door open wide |
| [02:13] | Then she will be born |
| [02:15] | To someone like you |
| [02:17] | What no one has done |
| [02:18] | She'll continue to do |
| [02:28] | I know she is coming |
| [02:30] | I know she will look |
| [02:33] | And that is the longing |
| [02:35] | And this is the book |
