Fear Of Woman

I was not ready
to go with you
I was uncertain
what could I do ?
I see your picture
now I understand
I see loneliness
that gathers in your hand
In poor condiction
through frosted fields
I labour sunwards
my life is pale
My shadow tumbles
down the river bank
I fear the icy water
where the young boy sank
'Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine ?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me'
I walked through Glasgow
in the freezing gloom
to my heartless hotel
and my dying room
my life is over
I just count the days
but there are moments of terror
I can't erase
