Sharpest Blade |
There was a time |
I could sleep anywhere— |
My feet on a chair, |
My heart in the woods; |
But love was aloof, |
Just a beggar for tips |
A mime on whose lips |
No promises stood |
But you can cut me quick |
In the light of the shade, |
With the edge of the green |
Of the yard’s sharpest blade; |
When nothing I knew |
Was all that it seemed |
I still dreamed |
Of a love to outlive us |
I still prayed |
That this night would outlast us |
And redeem some small thing |
Far beyond me |
Blossoms begin |
Like the tip of a spear, |
Or the curve of a tear |
From a soldier who weeps; |
Seducing the guard |
Of lost years falling by— |
As flowers to lie |
On the dead feigning sleep |
But you cut me quick |
In the light of the shade, |
On the edge of the green |
Of the yard’s dark parade; |
When nothing we knew |
Was all that it seemed |
I still dreamed |
Of a love to outlive us |
I still prayed |
That this night would forgive us |
And redeem some small thing |
Far beyond me |
But you cut me quick |
In the light of the shade, |
On the edge of the green |
Of the yard’s sharpest blade; |
When nothing we knew |
Was all that it seemed |
I still dreamed |
Of a love to outlive us |
I still prayed |
That this night will convince us |
And redeem some small thing |
Far beyond me |
