Strange
street affair under blue
Just
for you with your open hands
Waiting for the touch of man
Clutching with
your blackened gloves
You try to capture all the doves
That flee into
The
forest before you You
wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to
say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You
framed your first lover Your
form intrigues me with its glow
Ill remember you I know
Though I forgot
to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To
drive you back into my bed Ahhh....
She
turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits You'd
be touched if you would touch
But you only reach and taunt
Will my taste
stay grey and blue
If I try to turn from you Tim Buckley/Larry Beckett
