Golden Greats Vol. 3

by John Ralston

/
1.
I got lost in the trees. I fell down, cut my hands and my knees. And I said to myself, "This is all, this is only, a dream". I got up wiped the blood off of my hands, and it mixed with the mud. And I heard a voice say, "So you began, so you soon shall be." Like the moon, like the sun, I will become. I will become whole again. I will become one. Further up and later on, I was there when the dark met the dawn. And I knew that I must pick up speed if I was to get to where I'd been going. Like the moon, like the sun, I will become. I will become whole again. I will become one. I've got half a mind to part out this heart that's caused so much trouble for me. Like the moon, like the sun, I will become. I will become whole again. I will become one.

Think on me lovingly if you think of me at all. Disconnect me from the power lines in your brain's hallowed hall. Be with me now. Be with me now. I've bowed my head to walk the miles. Back to Bethlehem. Sweet Lord, I've been suffering. There's a war inside my brain. I used to be sure of so many things, but the knots came loose I'm afraid. Be with me now. Be with me now. I've bowed my head to walk the miles. Back to Bethlehem. Salt in the wound. Supper on the vine. I've got legs and arms that work, but a heart that will not climb. A heart that will not climb... Be with me now. Be with me now. My throat is dull from cannibals. They're all along the road the Bethlehem.
