I stood helpless to the threat
Of a heavy lid I'll never lift
And when the gavel hit the desk
Metal shut around me
Marshals at my wrist
Led me down the longest hall
Down the darkest throat
Of the hardest animal
And just listen to the wind
Wailing like the wounded
Over the Lincoln highway bridge
Down in the valley or in the street
Don't let the mad men fool you
You got everything you need
Out in your sheets beside your love
Recognize the instant
Memorize the pose
Despite all the hatred I held for you
Despite all the violence I could do
Just beyond, there is love
And when I'm alone with only my thoughts
And as you might know, I'm alone a lot
It's the love I'm thinking of
Out in that city like a dream
See the breezes go around you
See the long grasses yield
Be out there exiting the bars
At the finest hour of morning
Nearly lost, but not
Be warm and steady in the wind
And your soft, imperfect body
Do not cover it
