Patch the Failing Seams

What do I do?
When I see no relief
Nothing to say
In this time so brief

I’ll cry for you darling
What can I say?
Deep pools of hurt
I can’t simply wish away

Know now the metaphor
More true than it seems
I’ll cry for you darling
Wish to patch the failing seams

What do I say?
To dry the tearing eyes
Nothing to do
To stop time as it flies

Let the salt tears
Fall on my dry parched ground
Run after the shadow
Run like the sentless hound

Know now the metaphor
More true than it seems
I’ll cry for you darling
Wish to patch the failing seams

Could never sever
The ties that bind
Could never change
The strong and the kind

Don’t raise the cross
Nor the burning stake
Can’t stop the pain
Nor my friend forsake

Know now the metaphor
More true than it seems
I’ll cry for you darling
Wish to patch the failing seams
