Love & Death In The Afternoon
In my time on earth
I was a boy
in my time on earth
I was somebody's son
In my time on earth
I said too much
but not nearly
not nearly enough
Will we recall the table set
the water warm
a bed unmade in a single room?
will we recall
if nothing else at all in that single room
in that hired room?
Love and death in the afternoon
In my time as your lover
I told you the truth
and in my time as this Saint
I grew some wings as proof
In my time on earth I knew enough
that is far too much
that is far too much
I came home early and found you talking to God.
