I should have known better

To see what I could see

My black shroud

Holding down my feelings

A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter

And grieve what I happen to grieve

My black shroud

I never trust my feelings

I waited for the remedy

When I was three three maybe four

She left us at that video store

Be my rest be my fantasy

Be my rest be my fantasy

I'm light as a feather

I'm bright as the Oregon breeze

My black shroud

Frightened by my feelings

I only wanna be a relief

No I'm not a go-getter

The demon had a spell on me

My black shroud

Captain of my feelings

The only thing I wanna believe

When I was three and free to explore

I saw her face on the back of the door

Be my rest be my fantasy

Be my rest be my fantasy

I should have known better

Nothing can be changed

The past is still the past

The bridge to nowhere

I should have wrote a letter

Explaining what I feel that empty feeling

Don't back down concentrate on seeing

The breakers in the bar the neighbor's greeting

My brother had a daughter

The beauty that she brings illumination

Don't back down there is nothing left

The breakers in the bar no reason to live

I'm a fool in the fetter

Rose of Aaron's beard where you can reach me

Don't back down nothing can be changed

Cantilever bridge the drunken sailor

My brother had a daughter

The beauty that she brings illumination
