lyrics

I would walk across the water for you
If I thought that you would change.
If I really do not matter to you,
Why do you act so strange?

The sun might burn me easily,
But still I only stare,
Wondering where you've gone to now
When even the dogs beware

Of the wrong way to show it too.

Your voice is like a stalk of wheat
Gone dead in the heat of drought.
Are you really trying to act so sweet?
Is that what you're about?

And am I here to wish you well
And hanging by a thread
Between dreams you won't admit to now
And a walk amongst the dead

With the wrong way to show it too?

A Sunday morning christening
And a phone call from the moon.
You might just be that far away,
Like the echo of a loon.

I mourn the summer never known
In a year that never passed
On a day I never spent with you
We both knew would be our last

And the wrong way to show it too.

recorded on the Fostex 4-track, the lyric sheet says 1992, but I think it was written and recorded much earlier in the late 1980s
