If you fail to see a problem,
|
(Which I find hard to believe)
|
Or if you're hanging on from branches
|
Licking honey from the leaves you say
|
"The hopelessness of living, the childishness of suicide"
|
But there's a call to love my brother
|
That can never be destroyed however much you talk,
|
However well you talk you make a certain sense
|
It's still only stupid talk, however much I strut around,
|
However loud I sing the Shining One inside me won't say anything,
|
|
Oh, to want one thing!
|
Purity of heart is to want one thing.
|
|
You'll remind me that I said you were
|
A quiet bed in all my noise to rest
|
Well I was charming you at best.
|
And you remember, dear, when I said
|
"My coming here was like a terrible fall!"
|
As we crept like thieves along your bedroom hall
|
I'd come down and touch your eyelids,
|
But if you stay up too late I'll throw you back into the cupboard
|
With the chipped and dirty plates
|
Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring,
|
Even if you win, even then you don't win.
|
|
All I want is to want one thing.
