Poem: Water
Apr. 3rd, 2002 07:48 amWater
I've been frozen by the fire
I've been stolen by the wind
It's been hot and I've been heavy
Where is it that you've been?
I've been drowned through the dust-storms
I've been ground though the whirlpools
I've been cleaned but I'm still dirty
Baby, can you care for a fool?
I've been cornered by the ocean
I've been tattered by the sea
I've been dragged through the rivers
Now baby, do you love me?
I've been witness to saintly murders
And pure hypocrisy
In this day and age of wisdom
Baby, don't you fool me...
I've travelled to the edges
of this scenic, rustic earth
But still I'm none the wiser
Then the time I screamed at birth
I've been through all the cycles
Every point along the wheel
No closer to being lifted
How does that make you feel?
I've been covered by the ocean
I've been smothered by the sea
I'm pulled under by the rivers
Now baby, can you see me?
I'm the blue and moody hedgehog
I prick, but you won't bleed
When I've curled up in a blue ball
Baby, can you love me?
I care, but I'm not helping
I think, but I still can't do
I'm strong, but yet I'm helpless
So tell me, do I love you?
I'm a beast of contradictions
A man of passionate sloth
I won't know how to treat you
But I'll give you all I've got
I'm coming with the ocean
I'm leaving by the sea
You'll see me by the rivers
Baby, wait up for me
Cast your eyes to the fires
Cast your soul to the wind
Don't look and you will find me
And I'll tell you where I've been
I've been frozen by the fire
I've been stolen by the wind
It's been hot and I've been heavy
Where is it that you've been?
I've been drowned through the dust-storms
I've been ground though the whirlpools
I've been cleaned but I'm still dirty
Baby, can you care for a fool?
I've been cornered by the ocean
I've been tattered by the sea
I've been dragged through the rivers
Now baby, do you love me?
I've been witness to saintly murders
And pure hypocrisy
In this day and age of wisdom
Baby, don't you fool me...
I've travelled to the edges
of this scenic, rustic earth
But still I'm none the wiser
Then the time I screamed at birth
I've been through all the cycles
Every point along the wheel
No closer to being lifted
How does that make you feel?
I've been covered by the ocean
I've been smothered by the sea
I'm pulled under by the rivers
Now baby, can you see me?
I'm the blue and moody hedgehog

When I've curled up in a blue ball
Baby, can you love me?
