Pleated strands of never
have this belly all in knots
victims of tragedy
Baby, we've become
I'd walk the burning coals eager
if I knew what must be done
Dangling visions of ever
beautifully haunt dreaming eyes
phantoms of desire
Baby, we've become
I'd readjust the night stars now
if I could just find the leverage
Author notes
h."I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry ain't nothin' to me
I'm gone and that's the way it must be
So please I've done my time
Lovin' you is such a crime"
'Seeing Things' by: The Black Crowes
