For Christopher

All things aside-
theres no rhyme or reason
someones lost and someone came into the world
who is first who is last

Ill take your side
When sides are out of season
Showboats and high hopes
Are my stock in trade

Im in goal
Ill try to save the moment
A soldier strong
If only to stop the torment

Torn cellofane
Wraps an act of treason
Someones doubt and somenes faith and i weasel words
who is right who is wrong

Ill take the blame
When all the world is grieving
Chasened and humbled
Threw my hat into the ring

Im in goal
Ill try to save the moment
soldier strong
If only to stop the torment

Surely the tide has turned against us
Crashing and beating us down
Has the energi to reinvent us
Propped up in an empty room
The flesh and blood has long since gone

Im in goal
Ill try to save the moment
A soldier strong
If only to stop the torment
