heat and dust and connivance - i will call it what it is. salty pillars and romance - a mouth can trap itself. visions in the desert sand of renegades in contraband. and i am caught in all of this - your spanish gates are barred.
someone in the shadows there - brings me stolen roses. i would have been happier with weeds pulled from the ditch. it’s time that matters to me now and time and time again. these purple nights bred falling sight - i gather what remains.
does it matter now?
in the name of respect
go ahead and tell them how i didn’t suspect
who cut the telegraph wires?
the cat has caught the sparrow
you darted round the truth
like a whacked out bow and arrow
scarlet threads and smokey eyes - money jingles when you sigh. jaded with the lies i’ve seen am i. how can truth be recognized if that might mean them taking sides. God and time will heal what i cannot.
my friend listen closely now for i have seen the bull tonight. and if you didn’t know the rules you never should have played. granted that the stakes are high - weeping only blurs the eye. remember me the next time that you wave.
does it matter now?
in the name of respect
go ahead and tell them how i didn’t suspect
who cut the telegraph wires?
the cat has caught the sparrow
you darted round the truth
like a whacked out bow and arrow
the messenger you sent has cut the wires tonight. nevertheless the dog has finally found its bite.
