(caruvana) - Song of Old Lovers
Here we are again
Same old lovers, same old friends
Here we go again
Recycled motions without an end
And I know what you're thinking
You're thinking that it's alright
That every pair is destined
To dim in later life
You've lost your taste for war
With nothing to wager, there's none to gain
With silence we could afford
The blows of indifference, the swiftness of age
And I know what you're thinking
You're thinking that it's too late
That we've been too long building
This alter we can't replace
***
Here I am again
Your same old lover, your same old friend
With The Question and some Hollow Men
If the doubt can detain us, let us be condemned
And I wonder what you're doing
If someone's caught you eye
Have you quenched your thirst for fire?
Is it a merciless appetite?
