Catman Cohen - Unanswered Poems lyrics

Don't send me more Of your tragic poems My dear Covered in blood Of your monthly flood Of tears Don't send me more Of your angry poems My dear Carved with the knife Of your molten spite And fears I'm just a peddler With a cart Bringing discount words To hearts Broken hearts across the land Woman left without her man Broken hearts throughout the world Anguished boy and crying girl Your poetry's too heavy, dear For me to read, for me to bear Your poetry's too heavy, dear For me to get from here to there Don't send me more Of your bitter poems My sweet Forged in the fire Of your endless ire And grief Don't send me more Of your hopeless poems My sweet Ripped from the womb Of the lonely room You keep I'm just a peddler With a cart Bringing discount words To hearts Broken hearts across the land Woman left without her man Broken hearts throughout the world Anguished boy and crying girl Your poetry's too heavy, dear For me to read, for me to bear Your poetry's too heavy, dear For me to get from here to there (You see that shadow on the road Trudging ‘neath its heavy load A heart weighed down by sands of time And your poems only make him cry And he won't add them to the pile So he can walk another mile) (And he won't add them To the pile So he can walk Another mile) Too heavy, dear Too heavy, dear For me to read For me to bear (They make him sad Make him cry Beat him down Deep inside) Too heavy, dear Too heavy, dear For me to read For me to bear They make me sad Make me cry Feel as though I want to die (And he won't add them To the pile So he can walk Another mile) Too heavy, dear Too heavy, dear For me to read For me to bear (A heart weighed down By sands of time And your poems Only make him cry) Too heavy, dear Too heavy, dear For me to read For me to bear
