Suzanne stares at him (1) With a question in her Evocative eyes, No disguise, no lies; But he is cautious now, He won't let her avow. He won't let the guard down For deep down he knows He cannot afford to get His heart broken twice; Won't let one to thaw the ice And the soliloquy runs "I won't let anyone in; I won't let anyone get too close, I won't trust anyone again, Never again, never again"
And Suzanne cooks good food And feeds him delicious homemade pizza And she gives him a good talk And tells him to watch the moon; Suzanne shows him photos from the past But he has now a heart of a stone And the soliloquy runs "I won't let anyone in; I won't let anyone get too close, I won't trust anyone again, Never again, never again"
Suzanne makes subtle move; Suzanne makes him translate St. Teresa's speech on love But he's cautious than ever before And the raven in him says "Nevermore" (2) And the soliloquy runs "I won't let anyone in; I won't let anyone get too close, I won't trust anyone again, Never again, never again"
He now takes good care of His mended heart For he knows, nothing aches Like a broken heart. And every now and then He thanks Cecilia in his mind; For once she loved him And left him prescind That made him immune to love.
1. The name Suzanne is a reference to Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne'. The song 'Suzanne' is beautifully written where Cohen made friendship, love and spirituality hold hand in hand.
2. 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was a genius and had much to give had he lived longer.
