Second time Around

Now the very last time that she saw her
She knew they'd been separated by nothing but time
A certain slant of light the very same words echoing through they're minds
Under cyprus trees I'll lead you but I cannot meet you their
He's changed his clothes so often she's taken all the dye out of her hair

Now you've spent so long convincing most everyone of your pain
You've done it all so beautifully and all in my name
If you can stand the static and learned to rеpeat all their words by heart
I'd havе painted for them your portrait but I did not have the art

And the last time he saw her he's say nothing
As blind men ushered in the spring
He leant on wooden stages he left without a single silver ring
She lay in one with perfect comfort and each morning forgot who she was
While before the law book keepers tried to account for their loss
