Last Blues

Life’s too absurd to know what I believe
Love’s too new to need a friend
who never says a word
And love itself is out for more than blood
And time has run again,
I know too well it’s never quite enough
I’ve never done it but the rage is there
I’ve never told no one but that don’t mean it’s never
crossed my mind
And I’d hide from what it means all the life of me,
And spend my life in line but twenty-one’s a mirror
and I’m time
And I never dreamed there’d be no reason why
I’d think my life away but I don’t think
I’m ever gonna die
