Lonely Soul

Memories throw up their glances high and dry Like blinding sun in the early afternoon Past lives held my hand in some midnight land Sweet words to love by, but fit to leave to die In the cold shadow of rain we held Through all those hollow years Cornered too long, the mind fractures and fails The decay of atoms, to be swept away A woman you knew through all those hairy years Still lets you down and waits around till evening comes While I sit and reduce myself to eventuality Oh but, you never did a thing like that, did you? All such knowledge leaves us feeling disengaged Are we so deaf in the heart these days? You are some kind of lonely soul, you don't want to be down We are two kinds of motion, oh, and I am changing too I want to be just a little bit sane tonight I'll let you in, just this one time
