Down the Road, along the man was walking.
What was his name? No one knowsâ¦
Had a black cloud floated over his headâ¦to protect him it was his war born head
Feathers of a tale were all the sudden in his head.
And when they brushed his face, it made him smile...
But it kept him cold inside to keep pretending.
But he was gladâ¦to be cold inside.
A thousand arrows in his back, he left them to remind him
If he became Brothers of pain, no more will ever find him
He only had himself to blame, to let darkness disguise him
He was wrongâ¦He was afraidâ¦
Down the road the other way, there came a woman.
What was her name? That secret is mine.
Had a likeness in her way, just like the ocean
And her face was like a rainbow in sky
She was laughing on her way to have a good time
When the sun went down, she thought that she might stop and rest a while
She peered into the midnight, and a man stood before her
So dark she could only see his crying eyes.
She said âhelloâ, he asked âhow can you see me?â
And she said âBabe I know its black but I ainât blind.â
And he said âTell me why youâre here and what youâre looking for.â
And she saidâ¦âitâs just when you stop looking, who knows what you might find.â
She was surprised she found him through the Arrows.
She was mystified she saw him through the grounds, over his face.
She was terrified she could speak his languageâ¦
She was rightâ¦Be afraidâ¦
He said âIf I ever fall, my darkness holds me.
If I ever cry, my darkness dries my tears.
If I need to crawl, my Darkness helps me find my way.
When I need a place to hide, they canât love meâ¦They canât see me.â
On the Road for days and nights, they started talking
about this and that, nothing in particular.
And they both began to feel a little tugging at their hearts.
And she moved close to him,
and he moved close to herâ¦
They were lonesome in a way, because they were different.
They both had there walls of keeping up the world that disappointsâ¦
Hit him with his arrows, and clouds, and she with her smile, and delicate composure.
And the first time that they touched.
Something changed something strange that normally happens all the time.
Itâs the way of the world, people come, people go,
people mock each other up and sometimes get to love the world.
He took his headdress off, she held it gently.
She pulled some arrows from his back, it bled only a bit.
She kissed his wounds and he kissed her back gentlyâ¦
He could tasteâ¦his blood on her lips...
She said Darkness donât you fall, I canât hold you up myself
Darkness donât you cry, I can drown in your tears
Darkness donât you crawl, because I canât keep looking down for you
Darkness donât you hide, I canât love youâ¦I canât see you.
