Small Poem of Old Friend

man have I been far away
in short of words
afraid of nothing
with nothing at all around
how could you know
how could I have let you know
when there was all but nothing in me

yes I blew it all away
into public air
it was right in front of me
it was almost there
how could they know
I can understand how little
they could understand of what went...

down and down and down it goes
when stepping off the open road

you've been spreading dirt my friend
and words that were untrue
and you crowned yourself among the men
that gave so much to you
I think you should know
there is only so much time
before your sad song comes around, and...

down and down and down you go
when stumbling on the lies you told
down and down and down you go
ask me who I wouldn't know

sail on
sad one

precious, precious
you've lost your halo
senseless, aimless
you chose your own road
and you will walk on endlessly
thinking that you're clean
but I hope you know...

down and down and down you go
when stumbling on the lies you told
down and down and down you go
thay ask me who I wouldn't know

sail on
sad one
