I walked in the city at midday
It was empty and bare I looked in the mirror at midnight There was nobody there You had become the very breath that I breathed You were all I desired, my will to succeed But now I know how it feels to be old Out in the cold. I walked in the city at midday It was feeling the strain I looked in the mirror at midnight It was starting to rain I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside But now I know how it feels to be old Out in the cold. Whoever believed in astrological signs Under my eyes your name burns in the lines For now I know how it feels to be old Out in the cold |

I made a sideways motion
Turning a new leaf The single minded miner's girl Was there to share my grief I shivered in the butter wind Three times the cockerel crowed I waited for the river But the river did not flow. An autumn turned to silver Winter turned to gold The weatherman said dress up Oh but I did not feel the cold Kids waited with toboggans As I sheltered from the snow I waited for the river But the river did not flow. I will drink the milk from you breasts Meld myself to you Collect the valley lilies The worshippers once strew My body aches with hunger Yet your belly has to grow I waited for the river But the river did not flow |

Maybe you think, a lot like me
Of those who live beside the sea Who feel so free, so I surmise With their comfortable homes, and wives Who end up drinking tea together In the afternoon of their lives. They build their homes upon the seashore The quicksand castles of their dreams Yet take no notice of the North wind Which tears their building at the seams. In their dismay and blind confusion The weeping widows clutch their shawls While as the sea mist ever deepens The sailors hear the sirens' calls. And in the maelstrom sea which follows The lifeboat sinks without a trace And yet there still remain survivors To bear the shame of their disgrace. Last night I lay in bed And held myself Trying to remember How it once was with you How your hands were softer. Yesterday I found myself Staring into space Rather like the sailor In my own home surroundings I'm not sure I know me. If you were me what would you do Don't tell me I don't need you to It won't help me now. |

Hero's face was gaunt and tanned
AmSus4 Am His sail was set in search of land Csus2 C His life-raft, solely by him manned Dm Was guided by the tide Dm DmSus2 Heroine wore fleecy white AmSus4 Am She beckoned like some savior bright Csus2 C Shipwrecked sailors in the night Dm Were bid welcome to her side Where one man's search must surely cease The irresistible white fleece Led Hero in search of the peace Which she alone could offer Thus he knelt before her feet Wary lest their eyes should meet He knew his life was incomplete For he had yet to suffer Enticing Heroine, so calm Took Hero firmly by the arm Told him that she meant no harm, That she alone could save him Hero could no longer speak While realizing he was weak His life increasingly grew bleak For all the love she gave to him While storm clouds gathered high above The Heroine he grew to love Turned slowly to a snow white dove And spread her wings to fly Crushed and broken in the end Hero watched his sould ascend Knowing that he was condemned To sail all alone to die |
