What do you do
when you love someone
too far away,
then look for someone closer,
that you can spend with each day,
then you put more distance
between you and the one you love,
and you start to put total strangers
up above,
and you let your love from far away
slip farther every day,
til your love has no other choice
than to let that distance stay.
So then you be but far apart,
and in each ones life no more,
and have all the room you need
to have others knocking at your door,
but the heart won't lie,
and it tells you you're a fool,
and you must not be so smart,
and you better go back to school,
so you dug your love this grave
and put it in the ground,
so foolishly because
you didn't know
your heart was bound,
and determined to see
the love through to the end,
to the end, to the end.
Yes you brought on this loves end,
the one that will not die,
though you tried with all your might
to make it die,
make it die.
So how do you take all the dirt off
you piled up in a mound,
and take this undying love,
and retrieve it from the ground.
What a mess,
what an innocent victim,
this love so pure.
What a world,
what a world.
