Waltz (The)
For Betty
I worked on the riverfrom 9 until 9you would wait by the shorelineand pray for my life.I said, "someday we'll escapefrom this sad little townand run free like young childrenwho would never be found."Ahhh...ahhhhRun through the rainI can't see you anywhereHowl at the fading sunWhat is real? Where is hope/home?When you moved to the north ofthe home where we keptold boxes and sadnessour bones and our breath.I said, "maybe we're happy,in this said little town,where our lips part for anger,and our hearts make no sound."Ahhh... ahhSongtexteAnd we're caught in the skyWill we drown in the rain and the fire?Will you meet me tonight?Singing, "God let's save him, God is here now God let's get out."When I'm finally dyingand I'm nervous when I stayAnd I'm caught in the dawn. Haven't I seen you? Forgotten and buriedI stayed in the riverand you walked from the shoreto the edge of the citythrough the vast unexploredI screamed, "Don't leave me stranded,in this sad little town!"But, my voice was a whisperthat would never be found.Never be found.
