DEAR NORA: could this be the one I followed? could this be the one I've
given faith? I know I know I know you care (I know I know I know you care).
All at once a star is frozen, all at once my memory fades away but. . . I
know I know I know you care (I know I know I know you care). But peace
falling into my life, why won't you follow? Words falling into my way, what
do I say? Gave you all a man could borrow and all the time you've hidden
this away. I know I know I know you care (I know I know I know you care).
Faith falling out of my life, faith, did you fuck him? Love moving out of
my way, why should I stay? Words from the mouth of my friend and I had to
believe him. When we talked about the things you used to say every second
day. Words take ahold of my memory and history changes. And if I could just
forget it all tonight, that would be alright. Years falling out of my life,
why don't you follow? Love falling out of the way, why should I stay? Words
falling into my life, what should I write? JIM P.S. I know I know I know
you care.
"...I confess, I confess... I confess and I apologize in advance too. I
apologize in advance for unforseen sins forthcoming. I apologize for
unforseen sins of the forces of the foreskin. I couldn't have forseen they
were forthcoming and, and since it was the fourth time and since him being
the only one on the scene for a sin, forsooth, so lowly, on second sight on
my part, Lord, just call me Forsythia! Forsythia, forlorn, forsaken.
Forgive me Lord, for I have fucked and not loved..."
