When You Were A Poet

When I was a ghost
that roamed the halls
he danced like a shiver
above them all.
I did not pretend
to see his arms
but he pretended
he could make love to the harm.
He was a poet
before he was a friend of mine.
Dressed so fine
Kept his breast-pocket open
so that his heart
so that his heart
so that his heart
might console the sunshine.
In the years that make up today
he's only written one refrain:
She'll always love him
but who can forgive everything?
Who can forgive anything?
Anything at all....
In confidence he told me
I've read lots of bibles,
and from them I've made some
sense of the trouble.
But there's one thing
he took as the gospel:
Was not to take in vain
the name of your lover.
Not to take in vain....
Our fingertips touched
in a spiraling free-fall.
Took himself apart,
the place where we talked so long.
I picked up
all I could carry
but in the mess I could not find
his sanctuary.
So it's
empty inside
it's empty inside
empty inside
that faltering candle light.
Empty inside
empty inside
empty inside.....

Soft,
I think I let myself go soft again.
In my mind again.
My pride again.
And I'm wondering will I ever
fly again?
All my life
there have been so many mornings after.
Feeling good again,
like I should again.
Could outreach the arms of time
once they've stood still again.
Well my resolve was to grow.
But here I am:
Another redemption song,
One more chance.
Drink with me;
I fear that we may never drink again.
Oh, As friends again,
without pretense again,
and the same blood that's flowing
through our veins
Fare thee well.
What we have cannot be shared again.
Oh, to fight again,
side be side again,
and when losing is just another step
of our moving.
Well my resolve was to grow....
Here I am:
Another redemption song,
One more chance.
Listen,
I may never speak to your heart again....
before my nerve breaks again.
I can only pretend
that this stoicism is not my
last defense.
Well my resolve was to grow
And here I am:
another redemption song,
one more chance.
