I tripped up, so much for my luck
All around the capitol
And my arms were bare when I showed you where
I got hurt and had my fill
Still I followed you down the corridor
Past the gateway to the secret garden
All the springs turn to rivers and run into the sea
Just like the vision of me running from me
You loved me with hands that were fierce
And I still had a thousand fears
But we both had hands and so we held them
And the fire in you never died
Much of what I did was so contrived
In the context of three hundred cold miles
Still I walked with you parallel
To the stone wall outside your window
As Lake Mendota laps at the eager shore
So you leaned up against me
And the tangled webs behind the whipping shed
Had to be pushed back with vicious swipes
Thought I was steady as a rock and as clever as a fox
Still you crush me up and blind my eyes
And it was crystal clear what you were doing here
To make me fold my arms, lay down and die
Still I'm looking up towards thirsty skies
I’m searching thirsty skies
I am searching eager skies
