Lyrics
Who do I write for now?
Once upon your knee I’ll try to remember
It was furthest from my thoughts
When the winds blew in for November
Who am I? Where am I? Who’s on the phone?
Struck with the ardor of Defining you gone
Necessary (though not) necessary
And who do I shout for now?
Called across the fields can you remember?
Walking so tall and proud
My childhood’s promise and defender
Look for you, cry for you
Knowing to well
The man and the mind
Free of corporal shell
Necessary (though not) necessary
180 degrees from ok
Knowing I’m the one who will see another day
And I’m haunted by those lifeless eyes
Once torn between love and pride
And when they see you now
So difficult how
To know where to begin
They’ll have to look hard to see the pictures within
Who do I cry for now?
One of your two I’m bound to remember
The amendment, relation to friend
Loosened the love from the anger
Drink of the future Take leave of the past
Sleep in the calm Of creation at last
Necessary (though not) necessary
180 degrees from ok
Coming around, every breath, every day
For once I held in your eyes
My share of the love, of the pride
And when I’ll see you now
Not difficult how
To know where to begin
No need to look hard to see the pictures within
