Sugar and Cane
"Where do we go from here?"
I hear you exclaim
I'm trying so hard to learn
seems there is
so much more to explain

I see you come around here all
laden with sugar & cane
your lips breathe silence
and in your eyes,
in your blue eyes
I am slain

I sit here before you
and I feel like I'm lame
What was once a treasure hunt
has turned into a chess game
our love is gone and I'm
left only with shame

I don't know what the new rules are
so could you please begin to refrain

We spent weekends together
playing tag on the beach
with your gold chains and
silver spurs
you thought you could reach me

Then you turned around
to accuse, torture and
preach to me

Yeah, I see you come around here
all laden with sugar & cane
your lips breathe silence
and in your eyes, yes
in your blue eyes
I am slain

I open the door and
walk out in the rain
Summer is over and
gone is the heat

I see your picture before me
as I walk down the street
The days go by
and I cling to your charms

Like I cling to my fear
It's hard to hold back
this river of tears

Yes, I see you come 'round here
laden with sugar & cane
your lips breathe silence
and in your eyes
in your blue eyes
I am slain

Each morning I wake up
and I look in the mirror
it seems like forever
since you were last here

It feels like something is missing
we left so much unclear

This is the end
there's no place to go
You remain a legend,
a black hooded wraith

Right up in my
top ten articles
of a slow dying faith

Being dead to you
is like being dead to the world

If we ever cross paths again
You can bet that I'm gonna make way
Yes, I'll give you free passage
because I've got nothing left
and much more
to say

Sugar & cane,
sugar & cane
your lips breathe silence,
and in your blue eyes,
in your blue eyes...
I am slain
