The things that I’ll say won’t make much
sense,
to the ones listening with healthy clean ears,
to the ones whose kidneys were never
replaced.
I happen to think of many things,
but only mention the ones off the list,
like raspberry is the best kind of berry.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently.
You silly plant.
I lost my face.
You made me laugh.
I meant no pain.
I tought that I could water you once a week.
The things that I lost.
Your mother threw away.
My mouth’s full of dust.
Wash me down the bay.
And I tought I could water you once a week.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently,
waitting for them to. . .
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently.
You silly plant.
I lost my face.
You made me laugh.
I meant no pain.
I tought that I could water you once a week.
The things that I lost.
Your mother threw away.
My mouth’s full of dust.
Wash me down the bay.
And I tought I could water you once a week.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently,
waitting for them to. . .
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them.
And am I wasting time keeping something that was never to be mine,
and I can not erase my fears,
I will caress them gently.
