A Song For A Lover Of Long Ago

Ring on the bar
Clinging water mark
It hints at what I had
And calls up what I can't

Ring you out of me
Shake the memory free
Can’t squelch the molten soul
Can’t chase away the hole

I've buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

Rain sound the alarm
The stain, my broken arm
The faintest violinist
Buried in my gut
There are chances or choices
Sometimes you just have to cut

I have buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

I have buried you
In my shaking hands
You keep ending up
Every place I've been

I have buried you
Every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

You keep ending up
In every place I've been
In my shaking hands
In every place I've been
