decision
It’s so hard
To see night’s day.
It’s so hard
To find my way.
Ever since,
Ever since
She went away.
She said, "Your mind
Is like a porcupine.”
Got so many points
I can't touch it
Can't pick it up,
Can't love it
In any kind of natural way.”
“Your thoughts
Are like Peter Pan
They fly away,
They never stay
More than a day
Always lookin' for never never land.”
“Your heart
Is like a dark night.
Ain't got no light,
Nothing burning bright.
It's filled with trick or treaters.
Halloweeners. Halloweeners..”
“Your feelings
Are like a high ceiling.
They're far away,
Out of reach.
I ain't got no ladder
And anyway the paint is peeling.”
I said, “Aw c'mon baby.
You know I washed the car
Just before the rain came.
Sometimes my luck is bad
But that can be good,
Sometimes.”
I said, “We stayed in bed
All that rainy day.
Made love into the night.
Chased that rain away.”
She looked at me
Just before
She closed the door
From the other side.
I don't see her no more.
She's gone, She's gone.
“Don't know how I can continue.
It's all a vague kind a' scribble.
I don't understand life's riddles,
I just don't understand life's riddles .”
