Now I Don't Leave

I came out of the rain and the backwards glance

but the coming was not good

Now I don’t leave, now I don’t leave

Those who persevere will be destroyed

and I am not the destroyer in this story

In a blur, in a blur I was wandering

but my passage was foretold

Now I don’t leave, now I don’t leave

Repetition of one danger is my joy

and I am not a joyful singer

Put me back in the weeds, I was happier there

with the clover as my blood

and a veil that fell, couldn’t see myself

I was shaking hands with a “couldn’t I, couldn’t I”

But I could not be the ruler of that glory

No blame, no shame, no sorry
