Samson

from Stranger Hug! by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

I sit alone in the park at dawn and
watch the ghosts of the kids before
who carved their names in the bark of trees
with hearts and belief, it's easy to see who was lied to.
And when the sun comes out at noon
I'll hide my face like I've done before.
It's not as swell as the moon
and I'm glad you are you, but I'm sorry I'm blue and that I am me.
My thoughts wander off to our wedding promises.
All the velvet nights, the time of sweet caress.
Now you hear my cries, the sound of loneliness.
Your Libra eyes and your Venus smile they
follow me wherever I go.
And in your minds darkest hours
I will be there with you as well.
I know you miss Samson darling,
his paws have grown cold and I'm sorry he's gone and
I'd bring him back if I could.
I've killed myself time and time again.
Trying to make it right with the time given.
But as time goes by there's more cracks in my skin.
I can see it in your eyes, I've lost you darling.
