You were there

You were there when I came around the corner

A blonde man with a beard

And though the years we were together were cruel

Twenty five years later

I still dream of you

If I could somehow catch the calm

At the center of the storm

Perhaps my pain would lessen

And you could go back to the past

Where there is a broken marriage

Between wrong and wrong

I knew you would make me or break me

But does it have to last so endless

In my sleep we never speak 

But there is an ocean

And all the creatures of the deep

Still long for you

And wait for your approval

The tooth is rotten 

It needs removal

Yet still I work it 

With my tongue
