I burn an effigy in your name

But you were lost awhile ago

There's so much I want to grasp

But my hands won't reach high enough

I want to climb to the tree tops

But the stars twinkle too brightly

My heart weeps for you

But who will weep for my heart?

Oh, I wonder what they mean?

If anything at all

Catch me as I fall

Never your voice will stroke my ear

The birds of our destinies may crumble and fail

But get up and get dressed

There's so much to do

But the roses smell foul

The days will lose meaning

But I'm not your pity pawn

Your words bleed contempt

But get up and do the thing, anyway
