As I turn my attention from the spreading stain On the ceiling near the corner by the door The ambulant shadow of an aeroplane Passes over the object on the floor A lavender afternoon is gone... again Or my hands have blocked my vision Please turn the thoughts down in my head... against This swirling mass of indecision And I will make my bed hard as I can take it And I think that I know myself a bit too well Now... I will never say what brought me to break it The damage has been done, and I will never tell I wish you could be here on this afternoon Under sulphurous suffocating sky Till the lightning and thunder brighten up this room And the storm finally breaks behind my eyes You can see things that I can only feel... to be Locked away, their true nature can't be guessed And weren't you just about to reveal to me The nature that lives within this chest? And I will make my bed... I will never tell I will never say What brought me to break the seal of hell I will never tell
