A little demon followed me
until I found it comforting --
Soft as a tiger in a field
I too have vanished in the real.
From time as old as I can tell
I plumbed the depths of every hell --
I craved a glimpse of that reward
to know no death and fear no sword.
But every turn took me away
from where my heart's desire lay --
I grew so crazed within those walls
I did not want the thing at all.
At that the walls did crumble down
a ghastly light shone all around --
I felt the life course through my veins
just where no love for it remained.
But such is life and such is death
I know the value of each breath --
to love a shade and see it pass
(there is a price for everything)
it is a sweet and bitter draught
(the wind among the meadow grass).
wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this album up, I had only heard the first song but it was n-y-p so I got it anyhow. After listening through it at least 100 times in the last couple days, I can say with confidence that if there's every a re-release on the cassettes I'd get it in a heartbeat. Willow Barbeau
While everything is falling apart,
this album helps me to get through it, because i can't fall too,
Thanks.
P.S. A Stranger at the Door and Are you asking to be a sail are awesome too!
