So Close To Certainty

It seems so close to certainty
I left so much so I could see
How far my patience would help me
It even wrecked my family

I felt my work was my reward
Practised so hard prayed to the lord
Gave to good causes one and all
It did not seem to help at all
Perhaps it's early yet they say
You'll live to fight another day

I took some things out of my past
Your love still hiding under glass
Dissolving stars bled on the grass
It seems they've come to rest at last
I see her nakedness untried
I'll dress in mourning clothes tonight

The victims need not to rise or stand
I won't press hard with my demands
I'll take my lover by the hand
And one by one we'd turn to sand
I see her nakedness untried
I'll dress in mourning clothes tonight
