Beast of the forest Coward hid under the trees Fate has it coming For strangers so careless to be In the palms of a famine And imploding in sparks In every failing a right To cower in nights And drown in them under relief For all that it pains you You sure count me out Moving past the ballroom A sea of lights I turned around From the past ones I knew Their faces blurring out Another while again To wait in there For arrivals haven't even left For the fall out with the strain Here they laugh when you lay to die You gave your whole life to fill a room You gave your heart and fire And what's become of you? Years crawling by, straining by Your youth This aged heart of mine Still in line for you
