And then I fetched her back (2009)

Just wrote this song 2 days after the last one. It's a sequel. This song is about strength.

And then I fetched her back
I spoke
With the deep assurance of my love
Trying to imbibe the confidence in her voice
That had sunk into the emptiness of her guts
Lost amongst the ruins of the dreams she painted herself
Carefully
Carefully
I picked her in my gentle arms
To breathe life into her beautiful soul
And whispered the same tune to her loving heart
Which she thought had been lost in time
Eternally
Eternally
I said I’ll hold her hand
To help her paint those dreams we saw
And till her voice quivered before it sprang
Into the symphonies with which our world sang
I spoke
.
.
And then I fetched her back
.................................................

And then she could never fetch me back (2009)

This song is about guilt.

And then she could never fetch me back

It broke
The delicate symphony of love
That she murmured in my ears for years
For the peace of my day and night
That let me sleep in her tender invisible arms
Carelessly
Carelessly
I strung the wrong chords
And stung with the wrong words
The beatific beauty singing to me
Not knowing time would not remain still
Forever
Forever
I had waited and wished for a soft touch
Of a feather of such love so benign
That swished in harmony with her songs
Till the Satan she sang to spoke
And her voice trembled before
It broke
.
.
.
.
And then she could never fetch me back
