Broken Wing
You were dressed all
in black
the day I began to crave you
I took one step back
said – here we go
And I don’t know
nothing
about nothing about nothing
and I’m not going to tell you
what I know.
Broken wing
and your legs scarcely carry you
and did you let go of everything
did you let go of everything?
And I don’t know
nothing
about nothing about nothing
and I’m not going to tell you
what I know.
Jet and blood
on the snow
sweat and plunge
in high summer
and did you let go of everything
did you let go of everything?
Last night the lightning
struck the bone
And still you didn’t know which way to run.
One lucky sail
against the sea
and you calling to some beloved
Speed you, broken wing
I watch you go
Speed you, broken wing
I watch you go
And I don’t know
nothing
about nothing about nothing
and I’m not going to tell you
what I know.
You were dressed all
in black
the day I began to crave you
I took one step back
said – here we go
