Darker With The Day
So with that, I thought I'd take a final walk<br />
The tide of public opinion had started to abate<br />
The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk<br />
I could see their frightened faces<br />
Peering at me through the gate<br />
<br />
I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure<br />
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it<br />
And I thought of my friends who had died of exposure<br />
And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it<br />
<br />
And in my best shoes, I started falling forward down the street<br />
Stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd<br />
Love followed just behind me, panting at my feet<br />
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud<br />
<br />
Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God<br />
I searched through the pictures in a leather bound book<br />
And I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood<br />
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook<br />
<br />
And babe<br />
It seems so long<br />
Since you've been gone, away<br />
And I<br />
Just got to say<br />
That it grows darker with the day<br />
<br />
Back on the street, I saw a great big smiling sun<br />
It was a good day and an evil day and all was bright and new<br />
It seemed to me that most destruction was being done<br />
By those who could not choose between the two<br />
<br />
Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones<br />

The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts<br />
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones<br />
Counting on their fingers, with a crumbs down their fronts<br />
<br />
I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers<br />
The Camellias, Magnolias and Azaleas so sweet<br />
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds<br />
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat<br />
<br />
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns<br />
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands<br />
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns<br />
Bored and disgusted, to do us down<br />
<br />
Babe<br />
It seems so long<br />
Since you've been gone, you went away<br />
And I<br />
Just got to say<br />
That it grows darker with the day<br />
<br />
All these streets are frozen now, I come and go<br />
Full of a longing for something I do not know<br />
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow<br />
As I search, in and out, above, about and below<br />
<br />
It seems so long<br />
Since you've been gone and you went away<br />
And I<br />
Opened and pray<br />
That it grows darker with the day
