You Always Keep Around

All the light

It seems to please you

Trailing mindless

Rows of commoners on their knees

To praise your weakness

And your mind without a hold

Only feelings of a while passed

And falling in arms to keep you alive

All the lions on your leash

All their stains on your night dress

In your endless summer on the beach

You're a foal in a fortress

But there are maps to the roads

Plenty are your ways to get home

If the fog don't keep you out

And you, you always keep around

You always keep around

Christ how you keep me down

The years have piled on

What feeling there was left

With all your running away

My faith has lost it's health

But in your time you'll know

Who fell away

The account recalled the other way

The fall of night

You left me there to stray

And still the loom

Of morning light leaves me blind

This falling out's reached it's time

Maybe I won't need you around

Maybe I don't need you now

To hold or to keep you fed
