Leaf lyrics

If you fail to see a problem,

(Which I find hard to believe)

Or if you`re hanging on from branches

Licking honey from the leaves you say

"The hopelessness of living, the childishness of suicide"

But there`s a call to love my brother

That can never be destroyed however much you talk,

However well you talk you make a certain sense

It`s still only stupid talk, however much I strut around,

However loud I sing the Shining One inside me won`t say anything,



Oh, to want one thing!

Purity of heart is to want one thing.



You`ll remind me that I said you were

A quiet bed in all my noise to rest

Well I was charming you at best.

And you remember, dear, when I said

"My coming here was like a terrible fall!"

As we crept like thieves along your bedroom hall

I`d come down and touch your eyelids,

But if you stay up too late I`ll throw you back into the cupboard

With the chipped and dirty plates

Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring,

Even if you win, even then you don`t win.



All I want is to want one thing.
