You've made your decision?
now get up?
and leave the familiar sting?
of the woodcutter's swing to the tree?
I'll fall in the forest?
to elbows and knees?
and it won't make a sound?
since there's no one around here to see?
I was prepared to love you?
and never expect anything of you?
If the spirit has left you baby?
don't lie to yourself?
Put them old records on?
and admit that it's gone somewhere else?
And just because we're beasts of blame by nature?
it doesn't mean that you should carry it again?
It's a question of needs and not rosary beads?
in the end?
I was prepared to love you?
and never expect anything of you?
There's no patron saint of silent restraint?
Baby there aint no sword in our lake?
Just a funeral wake?
You were the coldest star in the sky?
only I couldn't see it I was blind?
In comes the black night?
calling your name since you were born?
only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum
