I was in the shadow using up my time Tangled up in thought of what to do with mine Until the midnight hour when a lowly demoiselle Came into my tower, upon the bed she fell As a flower in the cold, a marigold as lovely as could be Long it has been now But I won't soon forget the vow she made to me When she said Well, I don't know anything of where you've been But I'll give you all to help me feel again Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel Like a bird unfettered of her cage When the siren came She called my name into the silent summer's eve And in the moment's end I caught her when she gave a broken smile to me And she said Well, I pray to find you every now and then When the numb takes hold and I can't feel again Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel Real again Every drop inside to make it real again Even then I would drain the world to make it real Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel
