Drinking wine by candle light Small flame that might've toasted music Holding off instead a flood of grief Some wall I must retain Some hope I still maintain called life ...or was it love or... one of those foolish things.... It's not important now I am not known for caving-in complaining Not one for asking nor for needing much to hold my own... I just need everything-- Boundless days of youth forever slipping   Only one dream yet remains Wash over   tender tide The sea has found the breast Seals it with its mouth a hunger lunging toward its home of earth-warm woman a deep surround Longing there to cry to take her back to take it out on all the taking hurt of it the bitter and the knowing loss of song I can't recall ...The music that I cannot make for lack of everything

The Request
Drinking wine by candle light Small flame that might've toasted music Holding off instead a flood of grief Some wall I must retain Some hope I still maintain called life ...or was it love or... one of those foolish things.... It's not important now I am not known for caving-in complaining Not one for asking nor for needing much to hold my own... I just need everything-- Boundless days of youth forever slipping   Only one dream yet remains Wash over   tender tide The sea has found the breast Seals it with its mouth a hunger lunging toward its home of earth-warm woman a deep surround Longing there to cry to take her back to take it out on all the taking hurt of it the bitter and the knowing loss of song I can't recall ...The music that I cannot make for lack of everything
