If Nothing Else

All the love, now, that we turned down,
Crushed a bridge but, brought the house down.
Well was it just the overflow from a dam?
Is that a monk's flannel vest in my hand?
Welded together are we welded together in love?
Welded together are we welded together?
I don't know. I don't know.
Oh that night has left me sleepless!
Took my heart and left it beatless.
Too much time with muses and tombs,
Ghosts come out to play.
Is this just a gate to the world
Where we're told we shouldn't stray?
Where do songs come from?
The underside/the un-decide?
There's too much desire here to survive.
A song is no consolation/such a tiny space etc
A song is some consolation.
