Time and Good Fortune |
Drifter, what about her conversation? |
Drifter, how about an explanation? |
Where you go when you receive? |
And why you never let her feed? |
On all that truth you hold so dear |
But never let another near |
No one around |
My, don’t we love? |
No one around |
No, to the quiet gazes |
No, to the muttered phrases |
No, to the utter waste of |
Time and good fortune |
Taster of the poetry |
Of Pater, Proust and Socrates |
What are you to do but sleep |
When are you to stop and weep? |
For all your inability |
To mate with your own memory |
No one around |
My, don’t we love? |
No one around |
No, to the mindless gazes |
No, to the splintered phrases |
No, to the utter waste of |
Time and good fortune |
Singer, will the singing say it? |
Singer, would such saying change it? |
A whole long life spent tuning strings |
And will it now mean anything? |
But empty chords that only bring |
An endless, voiceless sorrowing |
No one around |
My, don’t we love? |
No one around |
No, to the frightened gazes |
No, to the stuttered phrases |
No, to the utter waste of |
Time and good fortune |
Time and good fortune |
Time and good fortune |
