In Dreams
Always a riddle in the world, she saidAlways a riddle inside my headAlways a thing of wonderΤhe way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for meIt's a big old world indeedEveryone is killing meΑnd everything conspires
Oh in dreams I have watched it spinSeen the violent crack of our tongues,Where all light comes inOh in dreams I have lain in sinJust to be the cracked and the cared for
How can I ask, ask for more
Always a riddle in the world, she saidAlways a riddle inside my headAlways a thing of wonderThe way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for meIt's a big old world indeedKicking my heels and wonderingHow I've been here so long
Oh in dreams I have watched it spinSeen the violent crack of our tongues,Where all light comes inOh in dreams I saw Aesop's kinJust a carcass of a man now alone inside his skin
Where to, where to begin
I live alone, ohI live a lonely life without you hereAnd I may be troubledBut I'm gracious in defeatOh I may be troubledBut I'm gracious in defeat
