endless words on the soul i weep

with tears, stripping tears

down from the skies above

in the time, endless time, before

my hands, my hands are too weak to hold

what i need to be, who i need to be

in the world, i wish to find, a piece

a fragment, whole, to complete the way

the way, i feel now, as days pass hours

and hours seek, to a world, in weeks

past, now all are gone, and in the time

a time, endless new, before my love

she was, was in a word, so true

to me, in a place now forgotten

life not taken, or should we say, before

the words, will steal her away

 

to the day, the days  i do not know

confusion is waking, but not seeing

the day, always the day

and in night, two words to begin

to rise above, to shine where there

is nothing within, these walls, tearing at my heart

to endless driving, inside these streets

on concrete avenues, my head to my feet

i am running, running down to the ground

now all, all i know, is not what i know

or have i known? that which cannot be

in a word of love, lost in memory

she knows no hunger, and now

finds no pain, in a word of love

now comes and consumed, in endless rain

from the tears of heaven, crying with her eyes

i yearn to find, an endless lullaby

whose cradle to effect, and soul to resurrect

above these times, who have slowly, past me by

 

 

no one is new, no one is new

whose eyes seek shelter, and soon to offer

a world, in my mind's  surprise

no one is new, no one is new

whose heart to heaven, is

and brings me from death

slowly, slowly, again am i, alive

i move through the gates, to a touch of angels

whose flight in these skies, above the ring of madness

to a beast, who has grown, so old to tender

to difficult to touch, in a word of forgiveness

i reach out, reach out, in the waters

sprinkling down, from the dew of morning

to a man, in the spring of all time, who now must know

who now shall he find

that in eye of dawn, in the sight of sunrise, does bring

all that is new
