lyrics

WITHOUT THE TOUCH OF LOVE

IT’S ALMOST A GIVEN
THAT IN THESE DAYS AND TIMES
THE COURSE OF WINDS WOULD CHANGE
TOO MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN
TOO LITTLE RETURNED
ONE CAN SENSE THE END
OF AN AGE OF EXCESS
A SPIRAL OF DISGRACE
OF THE RULE OF THE FEW
OVER COMMON SENSE

A KID LOOKS AT THE WORLD
FROM THE DARK OF A ROOM
SHE SEES AN EMPTY WASTE
THE TREES HAVE GONE BARE
THE BASKETBALL COURT
HAS BEEN LEFT UNKEMPT
THERE USED TO BE JOY
AND THERE USED TO BE PAIN
THE GREY OF LASSITUDE
HAS JUST BROUGHT IN THE RAIN

SOME STORIES DO FADE
SOME ABRUPTLY END
SOME CALL FOR A SEQUEL
AS THE WRITER COLLAPSED
A DAGGER IN HIS BACK
BLOOD SPILLS ON THE PAGES

WITH THE SUN IN THE REAR
THE BOWELS OF THE BEAST
LEAD TO AN INDISTINCT FATE
LAUGHING TO THE BANK
WITH A POCKET FULL OF CHANGE
YET CRYING TO THE GRAVE
ONE THINKS HE HAS IT MADE
THE PROOF HANGS ON THE WALL
WITHOUT THE TOUCH OF LOVE
ONE HAS NOTHING AT ALL
