I once had a virtue
Strung it on a limb to see you
But then the branch gave away
Had eyes to see you
Arms and hands so glad to meet you
Then they got mangled in the fold
I had an illusion strong as any minor suitor
It fell away, It fell away
Made up a suture, banking on a better future
It fell away, It fell away
Eyes so tired as the embers left to die
Time to sleep nothing is good in times like these
I'm so tired I don't even know my name or sign
My own eyes couldn't see any place or time
We're so weird haven't we any love to give?
Fall in line, Haven't we learned our place in time?
I had an illusion strong as any minor suitor
It fell away, It fell away
Made up a suture, banking on a better future
It Fell away, It fell away
