I saw you
in the birds
I heard them
cry your name
Your tears were
in the river
Your passion
in that flame
Watching
over me
Like a shadow
in the night
Trying to give
me comfort
But just giving
me a fright
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I saw you
in the birds
I heard them
cry your name
Your tears were
in the river
Your passion
in that flame
Watching
over me
Like a shadow
in the night
Trying to give
me comfort
But just giving
me a fright
If it
was you
I saw
in that
doorway
tonightI hope my
presence
gave you
such a
frightThat
perhaps
now you
realise
I’m as
happy as
can beAnd
it’s just
you I no
longer
want
to see
All this blood
All that gore
I mustn’t spill
Too much more
