A pile of leaves
And the northern sky,
warn us
it's only a matter of time.

Diane,
out of control,
laughed and danced
on a hill.

prayers
paint the sky gray
change your mind,
on their lips

Baby, right on time,
the ocean air fanned
into that good night.

And we watched.

Nobody knows what the future holds:
keep on holding Diane
young,
or flip-flop,
try to go it alone?

Do you think you can go,
watch it all burn away?

It was only a matter of time:
Tottering off into that good night
on your own,

Baby it's a lifetime

like the end of day,
the wind picked up,
a wakeup call:
*the end of days

You could say
That falling in love
Is an easy thing for me
                                            Heart open
                                            Arms outstretched
                                            Stars in my eyes
My feeble heart
Was built
Around the hope
That one day
I'd find my one true love
And live a fairytale
                                             Sweet and soft

But the plan was drawn
By a darker force
My love never comes
Like an unwatered flower
My heart whithers

                                             It turns to dust
                                             It's swept away

But still I'll lay her
In my bed
Waiting
                                             For a candied letter
                                             A sweet kiss
                                             A gentle touch
                                             *A reason to live

The bath water
is the colour of my eyes;
yet, I don't know
which is wetter.

God masterful and silent
Hovers over me
Like bees in the summer

There buzz loud and obscene
I'm reminded of sins
Once long forgotten

I'm reminded of you
And how you managed
To burn every rose petal you saw

Its a wicked game we play
Tooth and tooth
Molars exracted, canines chipped and worn

The viens in my body run like roots
From toe to head
They pulse and wait

They wait for God to answer
They wait for the buzz of the bees
They wait for a reason to bleed

So I step foot on the front doorstep
And scream his name
And that wretched buzz answers back

I've lost this war haven't I?
I've lost you and gained nothing else
But silence

So I'll walk back inside
And l'll lie back in bed
I'll shut my eyes and forget the world

I'll forget the buzz.
And I'll forget
Ever meeting you
