the faraway look in my eyes
means I’ve got something on my mind
so bare with me
a while longer
I’m trying to find some way
of growing stronger
you don’t know what I’ve seen
the demon of my life
caught up with me again
and I’m trying to walk it through
but I can’t find the bridge
and the tunnel’s in darkness too
if you wonder by any chance
what I think I need
it would be a pure ear
that could listen without fear
it would be a poets heart
that could see me from a start
make me be
what I need to be
make me see
what I need to see
and go back to rest again
it would be some kind of friend
