And I m Never Going to Leave You, Girl


When the years come down like snowflakes, and they flutter in your eyes,
I ll rise up like the midnight sun and I ll warm your winter skies,
And warm your winter skies.
When your dreams dissolve to ashes laying cold upon the stone,
I ll build the biggest bonfire your heart has ever known,
Your heart has ever know.

And I m never going to leave you girl,
I m never going to let you go.

When the devil comes knocking and you forget to pray,
I ll kneel right down beside you girl and help you find your way,
And help you find your way.
And when at last it s over, our love will still survive
Two names carved on a heart-shaped stone will keep the flame alive,
Will keep the flame alive.
1985

Lamia

The lady bade me linger for awhile Beside the cypress in the burying-yard. She fetched me to a graveside with her smile And set me on a marker cold and hard. She smiled. It all comes down to this, you know, That kings and merchants, each the same, Will sleep as brothers is a marble row Till mosses blanket over each proud name. I shivered mid-November air breathed chill And I looked down at my watch. The hour was late. I said, However much I d like to listen still, My appointment scheduled in the village cannot wait. She smiled and begged my pocket-knife from me, Then carved my name upon the cypress tree. 12-10-90 (04-18-80 Lamia)
