You can't see through my words
Although you feel they're crystal clear
Time will show you how absurd
When it plays it's tricks into your ears
But I sold my watch for a shot of scotch
For seas of laughter and rivers of tears
And when you stopped by my lodge
It did not look as it may appear
Bugs crawled across your face
I saw your eyes filled with fear
You held your guts and cussed the place
And I poured a drink for you, dear
Your lands of drought sucked it all
I poured me one and I said "Cheers"
I could see right through your soul
Through the mutts on your frontier
Now floods of vomit are on my floor
You called your maids, but they weren't near
I tried to help, but you closed that door
It was the funniest thing I ever did hear
I washed your mouth like I did before
Someone's had to interfere
I picked you up and played you songs
Then I kicked you out, I was sincere
Through my window I watched you walk
Through the rains to disappear
Then I went ahead to cut the Oak
I saw you standing by the pier
Up the sky the flying crow
Hummed a thing with a voice unclear
“she doesn't know where she should go”
I could not help but overhear
I went out and followed you down
You hugged me tightly then and there
“You know about the Fair in town?"
I asked, and your hair blew in the air
I grabbed your head between my palms
I kissed you through your death stare
The prince of darkness had lost his charm
The fortune teller did not prepare
I took you to the marketplace
They had a soul for sale somewhere
I bought it for you, it was filled with grace
And you liked some shoes and bought me a pair
And as we walked, I had them laced
They weren't made for me to wear
The ones I had could not be traced
Up the ladders and down the stairs
And as we were coming back home
At the tree of my despair
I threw them up where they will roam
Some would say over nowhere
I glimpsed the look of your disdain
And I couldn't help but not to care
There was no time to explain
We hugged again
And I said a prayer.
