The Lost Choices

If only I was a better man
A single pearl between my thumb and finger
I'd see that bead perform in light

If only you could run me down
Strip me to my origin and treasure
The twisted words that shift in light

You can roam roam roam roam roam
But you can't sing
You can roam roam roam roam roam
But you will never sing

When I leave you
Leave you all behind me
When I leave you
I leave you on your own
When I leave you
Leave you all behind me

As the dust from my feet
Meets the wind in the street
You'll be gone

As the dust from my feet
Meets the wind in the street
You'll be gone

If only I could show my hand
The curse upon my lips that you invented
Just as I've invented yours

If only you could bring me back
From the cold string of a life that is a decade
The decade that you hide for

And you can roam roam roam roam roam
But you can't sing
You can roam roam roam roam roam
But you'll never sing

And when I leave you
Leave you all behind me
When I leave you
Leave you on your own
When I leave you
Leave you all behind me

As the dust from my feet
Meets the wind in the street
You'll be gone

Yes you'll be gone
