Roamer

Roamer & Lizard Bride

It's a hard ride, life

clutching onto whatever raft

will take you, alive

to go alone

accept the loss at breast,

the loneliness inside

sometimes wishes for a lie

fur combed, or even

someplace to hide

us coward's would give it you

the love needed

except lies kill cleaner

straight to the bone

when reality intrudes

so come away with me into night

take where the seas toss us

ride the breakers of tomorrow

until the stars need no longer hide.
