Montreal - red kite

You are taking on evil forces

You don’t even know what you can do

Don’t go make it easy for them;

Is more than a pound of flesh

When your skin and bones, and the pictures you made

Yeah they pinned me to the wall

It hurt me to leave that morning

I’ll never forgive myself for the years I spent fooling around

You’ve been beat and busted up inside

Now you’ve got a wall needs breaking through

But you get a ten-tone hammer now

You’ve got a heart that is not made of cold black stone like you make out

sometimes

I know you girl, I’ve seen those cracks

I should have been there for you;

I should have done what you’ve done for me now

Stay close to me

Stay close to me

I’ve got you back this time

I remember how it went stopped talking to you

You stopped talking to me when we were 23

You drifted to the coast

I took off for the sea

We thought that was the end of what was you and me

Well then I hit the skids and you came back around

You took me to a show and then we went out on the town

You drank a little wine, you told me where you’d been

You told me about the terrors and the horror that you’d seen

Well I was out of line, I never meant to bail, I should have watched the waters

when your ships setting sail

I guess I should have known that I’d wind up on my own

This is an apology for the man I couldn’t be back when we were twenty three
