So you
found me at the end of my life
By the bend in the river at dawn
Have you come to my aid?
Are there deals to be made?
Red lines in the sand to be drawn
Now that you're here, pray tell me, my dear,
why it is you've come to my door.
By virtue or sin, should I let you in,
I can't say you'll suffer no more.
So they tied you to
the stake in your heart
And they taught you to treas
ure the pain
To keep you in place,
they lied to your face
And bought you with measured disdain
An d now that you've seen your part in the dream,
you need to be lost to belong.
The story that ends before it begins means
nothing is written in stone.
Once there was a time I might
have been for you a guiding light
Crossed my heart and hoped to
die a thousand needles in my eye
The damage is already done
When it's over,
as soon it must be
Please mention my name to the wind
The trouble I see, for you and for me,
is nobody wins in the end.
I was once as young and wild as you,
my dark -eyed woman child.
How I spend my days in dread
is how it is I've made my bed
I can't teach or preach or reach
beyond this veil we both know well
The damage, the damage, the damage is already done
You
