Are you still in control of the boat that you row
|
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking
|
I never condemned you, I only consoled you
|
When candlelight made me a King
|
|
For the wide-eyed and laughing
|
Passed like a season
|
Erasing a passion to sin
|
For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots
|
That the wide-eyed and laughing
|
Were just one step ahead of the wind
|
|
And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me
|
Was a song that I'd heard in the past
|
For I had an audience somewhere inside you
|
That applauded whenever you laughed
|
|
Gone is a word that I now rarely use
|
Though sometime in the course of a day
|
I go racing back like a man possessed
|
By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some different age
|
