"You live; death cannot exist for you"
(- from Master of Kung-Fu)
"Only love could pick a nested pair of steel Brahman locks" she said
I said "keep talking"
"Both the ghosts and all the people whom they haunted are dead" she said
I said "Keep talking"
When the darkness overwhelms me and I say "this time I won't get up"
You please keep talking
And remind me of these precious words I wrote when the time was right
Or just keep talking to me
"Now this record keeps on going but the high points are gone" I said
She says "Hush, darling"
"She will never, she will never understand" I said
She says "Hush, darling"
When I'm haunted by a tenderness of heart in a troubled mind
she says "Hush, darling"
And the dark and dull and dead and grey submarine that was my life
Comes afloat, my darling
Who was I fooling? The night is not my friend
Who was I fooling? The night is not the end
It's both the passionate and factual truth that I'll fall in love again
And I'll say darling
And the patterns I repeated are just only pebbles in a pond
That will stop at nothing
Oh what a fool, what a fool, such a fool to try to die
When it's you, it was you, who was on this other side
Oh they'll say I'll fall to believe in one more time
But when you come to me, if I fall I fall to climb
Who was I fooling? The night is not my friend
Who was I fooling? The night is not the end
I'm ready to decide the night is not my friend
I'm ready one more time
So just keep talking, darling
