(Songwriting by Epicene Blue)

For C.

My stories came pouring out
A river of bitter wine
I wanted your lips to taste every drop

I could not say the truth
I could not tell a lie
I don’t know how this happened
And I couldn’t say why

I don’t want anything from you
It’s not something I can explain
I’m at loss for words this time

Your stories came crashing down
A cascade of falling words
I never wanted those words to stop

Too many walls between us
And too much history behind mine
I want to break through
But there just isn’t enough time

There are so many stories to share
And you’re too far from me
I’m missing your touch even now

But I don’t want anything from you
I don’t know if I have anything to give
I’m at a loss for words this time
Oh, just give it a little more time

If they’re roses, they will bloom
