Vagabond Soul

Clearly

I watched you run in front of a car
almost got yourself killed
in your hand you held Mary
in the other a photo of me
I could only envision your mother
and all herself appointed misery
christ she made you so ashamed
after the rape and everything changed

now I see it all so clearly baby
wont you just follow me down

place yourself in the white light
climb The Indian rope entwined
on your Grandmas hunched oak trees
anonymous Kisses all for thee
all your failures I will drink them like wine
piss them out in life's ocean stark and wide
I will Murder the ones who invaded you
and revoke the sickness and make the pain all mine
make the pain all mine

now I see it all so clearly
baby wont you follow me down
because I care for you so deeply
and it's not the first time in my life
nor the last
as the wind rushes through your hair
