Why couldn't I have left you back at that creek, Instead I have let you linger week after week Your intoxicating aroma has now begun to reek To merge with your essence this Alchemist did seek Though tomorrow's outlook is much too bleak No sorrow to be felt for I am much too meek To let a solitary tear drop fall upon my beak Nor will I let this bleeding heart of mine leak As my Lord did, so do I turn the other cheek For you bringing sin into my life just last week I have to end this with some Bukowski speak 3000 miles away and I still could hear your bed creak
