As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walkThe tide of public opinion had started to abateThe neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talkI could see their frightened facesPeering at me through the gateI was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closureTime moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of itI thought of my friends who had died of exposureAnd I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of itAnd in my best shoes I started falling forward down the streetI stopped at a church and jostled through the crowdAnd love followed just behind me, panting at my feetAs the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloudInside I sat, seeking the presence of a GodI searched through the pictures in a leather-bound bookI found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of bloodAnd a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hookBabeIt seems so longSince you've been gone awayAnd IJust got to sayThat it grows darker with the dayBack on the street I saw a great big smiling sunIt was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and newAnd it seemed to me that most destruction was being doneBy those who could not choose between the twoAmateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clonesThe streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cuntsWith their building blocks and their tiny plastic phonesCounting on their fingers, with crumbs down their frontsI passed by your garden, saw you with your flowersThe Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweetAnd I stood there invisible in the panicking crowdsYou looked so beautiful in the rising heatI smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawnsPeople carry on regardless, listening to their handsGreat cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawnsBored and disgusted, to do us downBabeIt seems so longSince you've been goneAnd IJust got to sayThat it grows darker with the dayThese streets are frozen now. I come and goFull of a longing for something I do not knowMy father sits slumped in the deepening snowAs I search, in and out, above, about, belowBabeIt seems so longSince you went awayAnd IJust got to sayThat it grows darker with the day
