you are not for me
you are not for me
you are not my friend
you are not my friend
you are not for me
not for me
stay where you are
stay where you are
around me
all around me
around me
all around
you are not for me
you are not for me
you are not my friend
you are not my friend

emerging from sleep
into the room
the bed soft and warm
the bed soft and warm
another day
your eyes are closed
your face in repose
your dark hair curls
your dark hair curls
and rests upon your face
your eyes are open
look into mine
the smile in your eyes
the smile in your eyes
spreads to your mouth
the sun outside is calling us out
we will turn our face away
slide over here into my arms
the girls still asleep the dog downstairs
your eyes open
look into mine
the smile in your eyes
the smile in your eyes
spreads to your mouth

my daughter has a child
I have a grandson and I'm happy
he looks at me and smiles
I remember this, here it comes again
the unexpected turn is a gift now
the path in our heads forgotten
and now this one he makes for you
you're walking well and walking true
everything is good, all is fine
some people say the world is a bad place
don't bring a child into this world
don't you read the newspapers?
see it on the television
I've looked into the black hole
I've looked into the black hole
he looks at me and smiles
says my new name, here it comes again
everything is good, all is fine

I want to grow old
with you by my side
you beside me
and I with you
forsaking all others
forsaking all others
and stay with you
this is a rock that the waves
can only wash around
this is a rock that the waves
will never move
I want to stay true
and I will walk with you
(walk by the river)
and I will sit down beside you
(sit by the river)
and look into your eyes
your seventy five year old eyes

the ball

|
three days ago all was fine
one day later nothing is the same
inside, the emptiness
as wide as the sea
and the ache
moving like the waves
today I lifted up the ball from the floor
lifted it above my head
moved it slowly right to left
it resonates only in the past
and the present is cruel
