Prison

Cast my thoughts across the land

Watch me ebb slowly from the sand

Wring me dry, hang me up
 Isn't my love big enough?

Sleep with tears upon your cheeks 
Brush me from the torrid weeks 
That I left you, all alone 
Bar me from your empty home



    Fling a fishing net off-shore
    Pull me in, shut the door
    Satisfy your salty hands
    Wrap me up in iron bands


    Paint pictures of a scarlet love
    Watch the world from high above
    Spinning in your holy spire
    Leave me in my dirty mire


    Leonard Cohen had it right:
    Love is a grey fading light
    Even with all my hateful might
    I'll never escape your bright night
