A Flower in a Glove |
Because you were always unnoticed |
You were always the flame that dies |
Bastard with a flat-top singing, «The Cloud of Unknowing» |
Bastard with a flat-top singing, «There's a flame, a flame, a flame |
A flame that never dies.» |
Because you were always unfocused |
Jinxing the photograph with the pain in your eyes |
Bastard with a flat-top singing, «I shall wait for your love |
I shall wait for your love all days.» |
Bastard with a casket singing, «I shan’t wait for her love |
I shan’t wait for her love.» |
But you were always: |
A saint, a flower in a glove, a night made for the raising of your glass |
The night’s going to be a foolin' and a foolin', but still: |
Judith ain’t sure |
Toil away, play in the sand, gross out your heart |
The night’s going to be made for the la-la-la, but still: |
Judith ain’t sure |
You were always unloading |
Soft on the weight of your palm and your hand |
Bastard with a passport to the old destinations |
Bastard with a map of the palm of your hand |
You were always: «Shut him out.» |
You were always: |
Sun, Dash of White Light |
A night that has passed |
Has passed into the records of all |
That the little record keepers fear |
Dear Mary-Anne, Bastard of Light |
I swept your flax bang, I swept into the currents of the river where |
Judith ain’t sure |
Oh Man, it was you: did you ever think of a bad idea? |
Because the river is bad, the river is cold |
How was the King, was he sad, was he cold, was he low? |
Put your hand on my face, row away from the grief-stricken man |
Put your trust in my fate, I shall track that abrasive wasteland: |
We are richer in love, but you know: You just can’t have it |
