as it simply can give no more
push it on a little more
as every bit of thrill obtained
in release it drops off
as the scream quickly fades
and the pounding of the blood
to contemplate thought gives way

Sleep for me
no friend is
and coming night
to soon be
and the day
too short to ‘tis

I need not rest
and the night
too long is
much more than I
do ever need

I do go

All the ones who went away
who filled my life until the day
there came a change I did not see
when they did leave and went away
