Written 2013

lyrics

Through the bars across the window
Through the bars of the fire escape
Bleak tall towers stop the sunlight from coming in
Your sad face in the shadows

Madness pass in proximity on the street
Trash bums sleep ragged in wine-drunk cavities
Pan down endless through apartment block balconies
Whores boardwalk under the window down on the street

Stars dimmed black - the gaudy reach of a million lights
Washed ashore - convulsing under streetlights
I was garbage strewn on a filthy shoreline
I could not breathe - I wanted to escape

Oh! There was nothing before that love!
And it filled me up where I had never been touched before
My father’s hand ringing across my face:
In the cold of home - love was forbidden

Now our love was not the love that it was before
But oh my love, was it ever?
Your sad face in the shadows of that place
And you just wanted to escape
