October Inn

October Inn
the water

thunder holds the thought
of midnight in your room
heartbeats echo loudly
ensconced inside this tomb
where love
has gone to die
whispered voices speak
as if somebody cares
yet words of love and tenderness
keep falling on deaf ears
no thought was ever given
to the how or why
lightning no longer flashes
where love
has gone to die
winds of suffocation
roar above my head
as pelting rains of anger
drown us in this bed
no one stops to think
what this is all about
the fire of love and lust
has suddenly gone out
you lie silently beside me
I hear your mournful sigh
we never thought
that we’d end up
where love
has gone to die

we
we become
we are
we became
we were
silent in
each others arms
save the sound of breath
secure in our belief
this joy would last ‘til death
we
we become
we are
we became
we were
sadly unaware
that either one
was
there

ten days past
the hour
when things began
to fail
I set off on a cosmic wind
and thus began to sail
past the barren trees
heading slowly West
a heavy heart beat loudly
deep within my chest
to the fates my lot is cast
to the winds where ‘ere they blow
what became of my tender love
I will never know
for she walks a lonely trail
where I do not belong
she, no longer here
to help me sing my song
ten days past
the hour
when things began
to fail
I set off on a cosmic wind
and thus began to sail

cast your light
give me wings
raise me up
as silence sings
what only nature hears

in your arms
I did awake
there to atone
for my mistake
time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away
into your eyes
I did fall
there not to hear
tomorrow’s call
time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away
I close my heart
so to pretend
I have nothing
to defend
time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away
I cannot go
I cannot stay
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away

we got lost
on the way
to tomorrow
there was nothing
new
in a world
that was
blue
just
the sound
just the
sound

she wasn’t sure
what to leave

eyes closed tight
deny the light
into the dark
descend
it is fear
that brings you near
to the beginning
of the end

skirting the shore
on the troubled banks
of forevermore
