As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
The tide of public opinion had started to abate
The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk
could see their frightened faces
peering at me throught the gate
I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it
I thoughtof my friends who had died of exposure
And I remembered other ones who had died from the lake of it
An in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled throught the crowd
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonley little cloud
Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God
Isearched throught the pictures in a leather-bound book
Counting on their fronts
I passed by your garden, saw with you
your flowers
The magnolias, camillias amd Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I Smell smoke, see littöe fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless , listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to us down
[Chrouse]
These streets are forzen now. I come and go
Full of a longing for something I do not know
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow
As I search in and out, above, about, below
