lyrics

“If you’re going to miss, miss big,
At least then you know you’ve risked,”
Looking straight through the basilisk,
Is it worth all this troublesome jig?

But you’ve to know when to quit,
To stop all this raging horseshit,
To know your nest is a wretched writ,
Of a sun that sets its own obit.

Held in some great regret,
Is love’s dutiful, boundless debt,
Oh shame & sadness, how they beget,
The need for this, our doomed duet.

Two steps back, to one again,
Dance on, this wandering wren.

For I am but a wayfarer,
Still a stranger, searching further,
For where trouble meets its maker,
Where there’s not but a warm acre.

Still the darkness keeps its vigil,
And this pit will never be filled,
But you know the jig that we built?
It will linger long in this will.

Held in some great regret,
Is love’s dutiful, boundless debt,
Oh shame & sadness, how they beget,
The need for this, our doomed duet.

Two steps there, & there again,
Dance on, this wandering wren.
