Kathy down in Mexico, soaking up the Sun…
and me here in L.A. with my heart-strings on the run
the Sun it waxes higher, these days could come undone
the L.A. heat is killing me and I envy Kathy’s fun.
All our secrets run together all our questions arn’t for free
these L.A. tangles have got me as the burning Sun can see

Ending day

We talked away the end of the sun’s fade
the room grew dark and her eyes grew grey
she told me that I should leave …
there was nothing…
nothing more to say.

I can’t believe its ended now;
all the years still linger with me, somehow.

The rooms … and the houses and the faces
all the months and the places.

All my lies and untruths have come back to me now
its a hard bitter thing, to see.

I wonder where the little boy in me
will run to hide his head now
whose warm skirts and tender embrace
will save me now when I can’t go on

I feel so all alone, an empty day
the sky so gray with clouds
love is gone and this emptiness
that’s killing me just won’t go away
I need someone to turn to
someone I can hold and be held by

Rose, I doubt I’ll ever be sorry
for all that I’ve done
but I’ll never like losing you

I don’t understand why I’m so pressed
to do what I do at such costs
treasure, love, escape from my hand
and leave me alone
and I’ll ache for you everyday
I’ll feel, inside of me, all your loss
the empty hole where the little boy waits
and waits… and waits…
