Keep me at bay at the safe distance where the evening whispers beware! Stretching and bending This soul can accommodate All the wounds you fail to comprehend for your mending Yet the limits arrive And strangle my laugh snatch the tales to tell I have all I strive To disclose and show To embrace you with my soul Before you withdraw entirely And astray On my ache’s stream Tonight I’m wandering Galaxies and galaxies away
