Rusting Gate

tried my hand at company, wine poured out for two

blue charade that i have made while lying next to you

take the next thing home, my dear, leave me to my ways

the only clothes that seem to fit are the ones that walk away.

the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight

is always worth the settling earth around the rusting gate

the chain fals off the hinges squeak

the corners that call are not for the meek

so go away. go away.

the cut that bleeds incessantly will ne'er be stopped by aid

eyes that peal like church bells feel like the body print you made

in the bed of hope my dear i'll give that i will try

to hold myself in honor until you have to say goodbye.

the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight

is always worth the settling earth around the rusting gate

the chain fals off the hinges squeak

the corners that call are not for the meek

so go away. go away.

a laughing world in all its strife smiles from tongue to ear

a nickel for another wife a hundred for a year

take the first thing going south don't wait around to crack

a frozen vase in a parking space will never bring me back.

the first part of the traveling when enticement carries the weight

is always worth the settling earth around the rusting gate

the chain fals off the hinges squeak

the corners that call are not for the meek

so go away. go away.
