Oh, your memory
forever haunts my heart.
Wherever I go
you are with me.
Oh, you are the fire
within my heart
and in whatever may come
as life winds its crocked way
I know that in all the dark
eternity of space,
among the stars that shine like diamonds
in a black velvet sky
and in all the endlessness
of the eternity of time
as the Sun and moon
race across the sky
in their eternal flight
that my heart shall always
be a part of you.
Oh, love's fever
burns within my blood
and I am intoxicated by you
as with some ancient wine.
Oh, the leaves of the trees
as they sway in the soft summer wind
speak your name
and I am led astray
by the kisses of your lips
and your soft warm flesh
hot upon my skin.
And there is no power
in all the earth
or the infinite heights of heaven
or any infernal region
that can unbind my soul from you
for I am ever yours
into the far reaches of eternity
beyond all the Sun's rising
and all the Sun's setting.

I reached the edge of town
on a hot winter day
in the year of the dog

Drove past the schoolyard
where we used to play
king of the hill there in the fog

Saw my old friend
down at the local shake
he was talkin' about my loss

Said he could tell
by the lines in my face
that I had paid a heavy cost

I said "I came here lookin' for a revolution"
He said "You're just in time"

They're building them up
in my hometown
with foundations and all

But what goes up
will burn down
all good things must fall

I'm someone else now
with someone else's dreams
my will has its own will

It's kinda like a driver without a wheel
It's kinda like a fabric without a seam

I sparked the fire
while time stood still
oh, how I'd pined to watch it blaze

Within those flames
my fears were killed
all amends were made

Rode out of town
later that night
together with the wind

I have not yet
begun to fight
I'm ready to begin

I said "I came here lookin' for a revolution"
He said "You're just in time"
