Ancient Troubles

There’s a man that sings about a drugs binge he’s been on 
Like how he’s been helluva gone
And I can’t help but empathise
Because there’s a kind of high that never dies
Even when you kill it with starvation
Or waiting for a boy at a train station
That only comes once in a blue moon
He rocks the atmosphere when he’s in the room
And I just let it be
Because I am free
Of all he tries to contain
If he was a cloud he would rain
All over my parade
If I am the sun then he is the shade
Of the tree my grandfather made for me
He placed a swing on a branch and us three
Share something that will never pass
I don’t care if you think it won’t last
My heart is as solid as serene
As anything is beyond the dream
And everyone is someone’s child
And every woman somewhere is wild
In her heart and soul
Even if she pays the toll
As she passes through the joint
As if she’ll gain an extra point
For due diligence and deference
I gave Deirdre a second chance
But I may as well have talked to the wind
Coz she is fixated on how she has sinned
And aims to take me with her
And I get a little bitter
In the years that pass
Under the realm of the crass
And the key to my soul won’t speak to me
I wonder if I’m just letting her be free
Or if I’m resigned to the fate
Of looking for some guy to date
So that I might be whole
Coz I left her with my soul
And she is the keeper of that part
In the greater region of my heart
As it beats red and true
Pumping oxygen for all of you
