the first thing that happened was the river overflowed the water running through the streets and was sweet and cold i knelt by the water like a doe by a stream punch-drunk, snowblind, as though the whole thing were a bad dream and then love pulled out the heavy artillery kypris took the horses by the bit for the morning ride i count my blessings, but you can only be expected to count so high when love cuts the strings i smeared myself with pennyroyal to keep the hounds at bay you poked your head out of an alley half a block away and i recognized you, though i'm not sure how and the air turned red around you as a dull chill came down over me and then love summoned up the infantry and the green-eyed goddess got ready for all out war and i'd count my blessings, but i don't even know what the word blessing means when love cuts the strings yeah!
