I am yours, and I have had enough The strawberry Fields are now black Like the yellow sun in a solar eclipse What men do in love Do wrong in marriage Like so many women make love and celebrate it In the cathedral, everyone comes and goes So do friends and foes Where are the women now, now the world turns in reverse Little by little, we might make better days When the alcoholics stop falling through puddles And understand the ripples of time cannot be seen only made
Years have gone It would be fun If it didn't end all in just one day of divine romance Where creation and maintenance falter Deep purple of fruits lurch into drifting purple haze Yellow dandelions turn white and fly like cotton seeds And sunflowers turn to the Sun, to be yellowy ash Because I do not hope to turn Not tomorrow nor today As I desire that man's story And that man's destiny Never looking at my past I will finally have mortgaged my soul Where spring shall never come to the world The judgement of man is in his esteem And his prestige in his distinction "We are on the verge of extinction" Singing among the nightingales
