A pair of dog tags you called sympathy   Hung like a cross around your neck   On tired streets you sermoned tirelessly   For the crowds that gathered in your head      No one seems to notice as they pass   Battering rams can’t break through the glass   You said you can’t keep on running forever   Love is the only forever   You’re sure they’ll come around someday      ’73 black leather bomber coat   Draped like a cassock across your chest   On stormy nights sometimes I’d stop and you would smile   And swear the rain don’t get us wet      No one seems to notice as they pass   Battering rams can’t break through the glass   You said you can’t keep on running forever   Love is the only forever   You’re sure they’ll come around someday      But no one ever came around   Those pretty words they let you down   And the last time I went by   The only thing that I could find   Was a beat up cardboard sign that said love will save us all      You had this grin that you called honesty   Smelled more like liquor on your breath   In a moment of clarity you said freedom’s just worth dying for   If you’ve got none to live for left      No one seems to notice as they pass   Battering rams can’t break through the glass   You said you can’t keep on running forever   Love is the only forever   You’re sure they’ll come around someday
