Heavy 33 - The Verlaines

I can force you to smile

But it don’t reach your eyes

Like the moon in the day, silently fades

That which formerly shined is obliterated

I’m striving to coax or wrench you, I can’t even reach you

You’re starving for something, I’ve got nothing to feed you

And renegade good intentions turn to scorn

All the clouds keep hoarding

All their airborne oceans won’t fall

There’s a creature of prey

In the darkness, it waits

And it’s fixing its eyes

Smouldering eyes, with a purpose of mind

On the line that it traces

I’m striving to coax or wrench you, I can’t even reach you

You’re starving for something, I’ve got nothing to feed you

And renegade good intentions turn to scorn

All the clouds keep hoarding

All their airborne oceans won’t fall

I’m striving to coax or wrench you, I can’t even reach you

You’re starving for something, I’ve got nothing to feed you

And renegade good intentions turn to scorn

All the clouds keep hoarding

All their airborne oceans won’t fall
