Closer

Carry me down
Where the sky meets the ground
Where the water's still clean
Where I've planted your tree
Been watching it grow
Since so long ago
And ripped off the leaves
While they were still green

Take my head and push it under
The water
Take my hand
It can only bring me closer

But in my heart I know what's
Wrong and right
I don't have the strength and my wit
Is too slight
But you take all I had with the
Bat of an eye
Still I wanted so bad
To make it right

So we wait and we pray
And count down the days
Till you pack up
And you move away
Well I don't know what's worse
Is it a gift or a curse?
And which path is right
Will it be fight or flight?

Take my head
And push it deep as you can
Take my hand
It can only bring me closer

But in my heart I know what's
Wrong and right
I don't have the strength and my wit
Is too slight
But you take all I had with the bat of
An eye

With your cold, haunted, unkind and
Unwilling twisted mind
You think you have the right
And in the middle of the night
She woke
Kicked me out into the street
Saying go home
There is no room here
For two lying whores
But I wanted so bad to know
That I didn't want her to go
