LONG DARK NIGHT
Copyright Juliet
Lawson
You said
“you’re looking great
I like your hair”
I said
“you look as if
you need a holiday”
you said
“it’s all too much
the way we live today
she left, you know…..”
and I said
“I’m so sorry”
“shall we walk
together
have you got time for
a drink? ”
and I said
“no strings”.
I’m good at the
comfort business
But don’t ask too much
Keep it confidential
Sometimes the aura
cracks
Slipping on the
sloping road
To paradise
And we all have our
long nights
Well maybe this is
your night
Welcome to the long
dark night
Of the soul
In the dream
They fished you naked
White as dough
You jumped the bridge
You always said you
would
Well damn you,
confound you
We don’t need those
shockwaves here
Don’t you know
I was devastated
All that talk of love
and death
Wasn’t worth the cost
Of going nowhere
And we all have our
long night
Well maybe this is
your
Welcome to the long
dark night
Of the soul |
