I hold you now Mother Mary The blood that has been spilled lies deep within the creases of these pale and shaking hands For eternity soft whispers between a flowing river of madness I beg of you . . . Grant me sight lift this veil Parade me naked blistered and bleeding among the millions Soul bared eyes blank Pride The only thing keeping me from falling Lift this veil heal my afflictions annoint my wounds Deep as a river they run unending A salty bed of sickness . . . "The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye. Until we meet again." - James Marshall Hendrix [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-08-2003 11:53 PM).] |
