Birdcage

Wallflowers

So sad that you took it so badly


And acted so madly


So scared


like a baby by the morning


with sunlight unfolding


Your eyes have turned red


And are holding me


inside your story


In the end


you'll have started on a new one


Of anguish and delusions





He smiles


just like a magician


Who's just cast his illusions


of castles and sandstones


on the backbeach


And bright lights


within your reach


The sounds


of a warning


by the morning


of hound dogs coming for me


With the ropes leading back to your knees


And you looking straight at me





On your knees in the rain


with a basket of flowers


just for me


As the bells in the trees up above


all swung and rang softly


You said you rang them for me


For me
