Song For Thieves

Your’e not the man i thought i’d seen
the  mirage of my desert dreams
the spring among the lava streams
the string between the broken seams
 
and I’m the fool who never knew
that you were always passing thru
I didn’t know you couldn’t go
the long run when I kissed you

I didn’t know your longing looks
were glass eyes; Love I learned in books
you never read too deeply through;
just enough to weakly woo
me with all that I hungered for
and not a single dew drop more. 

So join the ranks of all I’ve loved
thieves I soon grew weary of
black holes who collapsed on me
waves who crash and churn the sea

For there’s no man laid eyes on me
who’s told the truth, who easily
rings through the chimes that hang so still,
over my heart’ whose song can kill
