of your dreams on the edge of mine which puts me on the

But Darling, you are still around.

that gnaws away the necessity of skin

the thing that masks the moon and makes it so it’s bare and bright within

But Darling, you are running through my head and these foot prints you’re are

mind but I don’t know why Darling, you are still around I know our play was in

part brief but please forgive my grievances, you seeIt’s not that I need you

now You were simply the best brief I have known and I, think it shows In the

way you linger onwithin my songs and I still love… At the way you live with

your drug habits many have been lost a time within my mindBut I think you’ll

find But Darling, you are still around Darling, you are still around
