lyrics

I’m blowing on the east side
I’m hanging by the wind, oh
I cannot burst my own light in a crowd
Cannot quite ‘cause I’ve a Roving Love

Sometimes I sound of Eastern ruin
Or youthful mediation
“Distant lover in the backroom, do you hear me?”
“With every crying breath, I hear you.”

You’ve nearly frozen next to me, right next to me
Like a vacant Greek ruin
“Antique lover on your back now, do you feel that?”
“With every dying breath I feel that.”
A glowing light cascades across me in the darkness
And I must caress you, Roving Love!

If anyone is used to it, I’m used to it
With energy and pages stacked below
A glowing light cascades across me in the darkness
I must caress you, Roving Love!

And fame is like a fruit tree, anyway
And all I want are poplars for my boys
To pine for glowing light cascading in some back door
I must caress you, Roving Love!

(And another love is helping me down)
(And a part of love is getting used to that now)
(Have no fear)
