Stephen’s words are gentle true And I want to make the stars with you As you gaze out from a constellation And I have to say my medication Hasn’t prepared me for a moment like this One where opposites kiss Across a table And you aren’t able To hold back the smile I catch you all the while Laughing with your face lit up And I guess you could call this love Except for the fact You don’t want me back In that place again The only good thing was the men Who used to be good to me In days I lost my liberty To a staunch defender It was enough to render The articulation in my image The town was talking, the whole village Was effervescent with the notion That I was caught in my emotion And a subtle drawl Draped over me like a shawl In winter time Are you sublime Or just ocean, seas You could call it a modern disease To be brought low Places where I dare not go Or with a shudder There with any other And to be soothe with my music It’s the path I walked but I didn’t choose it
