Like a womb, night was all around Someone, somewhere must have talked some sense I could feel it moving underground So many things I still don’t understand The dream I was having took on an ugly face I don’t know if I was walking through heaven It could have been any place Skipping 'cross the water, wading through the sand Awake to find you gone, emptiness is where you lay I just had to smile for all the things you’ll never hear me say Oh, I know, I could never get that near What do you expect me to do, disappear? ---

How innocent her visage as my child lover lies Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes Like an antique etching glass design That somehow turned out wrong I keep looking through old varnish At my late lover’s body Caught on ancient canvas And decaying…disappearing Even as I sing this song ---

The artist knew their faces well The husbands of his lady friends His creditors and councillors In armour bright, the merchant men Official moments of the guild In poses keen from bygone days The city fathers frozen there Upon the canvas dark with age The smell of paint, a flask of wine And turn those faces all to me The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft And Dutch respectability They make their entrance one by one Defenders of that way of life The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie Guitar lessons for the wife ---

I used to be the first to laugh when Mrs. Jennings took a bath and left the window open for the neighbors but had we looked we might have seen, that she was really very clean and given her the credit of her labors. and Mr. James, where is he, the man that we had asked to see? And who were we to think that it was funny. And as she raised her glass and said she wasn’t sure he might be dead or somewhere making love to all his money. ---

If she knew what she wants, he’d be giving it to her. If she knew what she needs, he could give her that too If she knew what she wants- but he can’t see through her If she knew what she wants he’d be giving it to her, giving it to her. But she wants everything (he can pretend to give her everything), Or there’s nothing she wants (she don’t want to sort it out) He’s crazy for this girl, but she don’t know what she’s looking for If she knew what she wants, he’d be giving it to her, giving it to her. I’d say her values are corrupted but she’s open to change. Then one day she’s satisfied and the next I’ll find her crying And it’s nothing she can explain. ---

I found a fox Caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, It beats so fast, And I’m ashamed of running away From nothing real– I just can’t deal with this, But I’m still afraid to be there, Among your hounds of love, And feel your arms surround me. I’ve always been a coward, And never know what’s good for me. Oh, here I go! Don’t let me go! Hold me down! It’s coming for me through the trees. Help me, darling, Help me, please! ---

The solitary huntsman, He follows silent hounds. No horn proclaims his joyless sport, And never a hoofbeat sounds. His hundred hounds, his thousands, Their master’s will they know: To catch a fox And put him in a box And never let him go. For all the fox’s doubling They track him to his den. The chase may fill a morning, Or threescore years and ten. The huntsman never sated Screaks to his saddlebow, “I’ll catch another fox And put him in a box And never let him go.” ---

I always will remember 'Twas a year ago November I went out to hunt some deer On a morning bright and clear I went a shot the maximum The law would allow Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow.
