Dawny Dumpty

2007

dawny dumpty sat on a wall

dawny dumpty took a great fall

and all the kings psychics and all the kings handymen

couldn't put dawny together again.

they brought in the oracles

they brought in the priest

but the pieces were scattered

all over the place

little bits of dawny dust were launced into space.

why did she do it?

with such lack of grace

her life was so perfect so sweet and so strong

no one saw the struggle to be loved all along

the precious emotion we can't live without.

she couldn't take it anymore

she just wanted out

out of the game

out of the song

let me be love

you only do me wrong

don't stand at my gate and weave your siren song.

i am deafening my ears to the sound of your gong.

i follow a new path

down to that place where love has died

of pain and dust and old broken bones

the whisper of a heartbeat

a laugh here are there

are the haunting melodies

please close off my ears.

don't visit my heart just leave me alone
