Laredo Rose

Had to go crazy to love you

Like the bat that I nailed to your tree

For I saw the hole in your harlequin soul

Where the sweetness dripped out at the seams

Lord, I was lonely without you

But you never thought twice about me

For I'm just the ghost of old Corwin, I know

And I'll go back to my grave in your dreams

And as you sleep

Low in the moonlight

All particles are thee

Oh, bait

It's true

She's gone

I wandered lost in those heartaches

And oh, it was terrible sweet

To be like the ghost in your story of hope

And become the one thing you most need

For one day we'll meet

Low in the sea

Like two particles I dreamed

And as the sun sunk

I could see it was true

She's gone

So long those long summers

So long those wild-eyed dreams

We are the heartachers

And there ain't no song too sweet

Lay down, my cold-eyed lover

You have said your goodbyes to me

We are the heartachers

And yours is the song I need

Oh, bait

It's true

She's gone
