Willis Earl Beal
Away My Silent Lover
I just wanted to be
so much better than me
But I lost the talisman
so I could not be free
And the ladies they watch
as I sneer through my scarves And I smirk mischievously
And imagine they had the hearts
Then I got up and left And I turned a corner right
Though I could not keep my rent There were shadows in my sights As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park
But I did not become afraid When I heard he dogs starts to bark
It might have been cold or warm
But I did not seem to care I was waving my arms
in the aeromatic air
Then I fell to the ground SongtexteBut I heard a million sounds There were whistles there were bells
There were screams and exploding shells I found teeth marks in my thigh
And I started to cry
no longer wanted to try
But I did not ask why Then your hollow, hollow face Was emerging from the willow trees
Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease
And away my silent lover You're just changing with the grass
Oh so slowly you float
Oh so so gracefully you pass
And I do not see you smile You don't talk, you don't laugh
You're the Shepard of my sheep
The keeper of my golden calf
And your love is truly true Mysterious, handsome too In the wind and in the rain
Never had to be pursued When I'm cold and in the gutter I simply shut my eyes so tight Sitting warm it makes me shudder And I soon feel alright And away my silent lover One day will shall be together There will remain no contemplation No more schemes or endeavors When my heart disintegrates And my voice is no more
We'll eternally be mates From the horizon to the shore
But for now it's all nostalgia You're a cinematic spector Cast your image from the blinds By the glow of the old projector And away my silent lover And away my silent lover (Thanks to James alquitela for these lyrics)
