do you remember
 how it feels
 to lie with a woman 
 and hold her 
as close in your heart 
as she is in your arms 
whose arms were those
 whose heart was that 
what woman 
the things you unraveled from yourself 
 without a thought 
in club bathrooms and 
green fields and
 ***** carpet floors
 you cannot put those back 
the way they were
 you cannot 
 turn the lights back out 
no one ever tells you that
 no one ever tells you child
 be careful what you pull on 
 be careful
 where you look

do you remember
 how it feels
 to lie with a woman 
 and hold her 
as close in your heart 
as she is in your arms 
whose arms were those
 whose heart was that 
what woman 
the things you unraveled from yourself 
 without a thought 
in club bathrooms and 
green fields and
 ***** carpet floors
 you cannot put those back 
the way they were
 you cannot 
 turn the lights back out 
no one ever tells you that
 no one ever tells you child
 be careful what you pull on 
 be careful
 where you look
