Willis Earl Beal - Away My Silent Lover lyrics

I just wanted to be So much better than me But I lost the talisman So I could not be free And the ladies, they watch As I slip from my scarves And I smirk mischievously And imagine they had the hearts Then I got up and left And I turned the corner right But I could not keep my breath There were shadows in my sights As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park But I did not become afraid When I heard the dogs start to bark It might have been cold or warm But I did not seem to care I was just waving my arms In the aromatic air And I fell to the ground But I heard a million sounds There were whistles, there were bells There were screams and exploding shells I found teeth marks in my thigh And I started to cry No longer wanted to try But I did not ask why Then your hollow, hollow face Was emerging from the willow trees Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease Then away my silent lover You're just changing with the gra** Oh, so slowly you float Oh, so so gracefully you pa** And I do not see you smile You don't talk and you don't laugh You're the shepherd of my sheep The keeper of my golden calf And your love is truly true Mysterious, handsome too In the wind and in the rain Never has to be pursued When I'm cold and in the gutter I simply close my eyes so tight Sitting warm it makes me shudder And I soon feel alright And away my silent lover One day we shall be together There will remain no contemplation No more schemes or endeavors When my heart disintegrates And my voice is no more We'll eternally be mates From the horizon to the shore But for now it's all nostalgia You're a cinematic spector Cast your image from the blind By the glow from the old projector And away my silent lover And away my silent lover
