Remember the day we met   you asked me for a cigarette   distracted, i acted without thought   and ignored you   and you got upset   left me there without a world   but not alone    for now a third would rule the room that afternoon   the loudest silence ever heard      my best imaginary friend   he and i made excellent bookends   brothers, not to others tied   but each the shadow of his twin   to sink into his favorite chair   when neither one is really there   and show the world a pleasant smile   or maybe just a vacant stare   you know its just the same to most   it just depends on who you owe   behind the mask   dont have to ask   an icy field of driven snow      we live and we die it seems   ad never see the puppet strings   sleepers walking   busy bees inhabiting each other's dreams   and me, i knew myself so well   a scarecrow on a carousel   a spinning world just out of reach   a blur, i saw but couldnt tell you how i found myself alone   i crossed a bridge on my way home   and threw my soul into the depths, for you         but if you go   away from me   our house will fall   on us both you see   and then we'll share   this revolver's breath   tomorrow finds us together in death      my love for you is like a rose   that follows where the sunset goes   and finding velvet fields of stars   its petals so that it shows   my heart there for all to look   a beating page torn from a book   and cradled in its bed red bloom   offered to the one who took it from me      hope to hear you say its yours    forever and a day   or longer   love gets stronger   till it burns the space between away   this flower holds the key to me   its secrets guarded jealousy   but opens up in trusting not betrayed      but if you go   away from me   our house will fall   on us both you see   and then we'll share   this revolver's breath   tomorrow finds us together in death
