would i lie to you?

should i have known this would be
would i lie to you?
that despite my every bargain and plea
the impossible i cannot do?

do i want to be far from the love i have
what can i say to you?
that all that loves you has died and left
or would i just lie to you?

i stay silent as a grave and rot
and hope in time i know
how to stand up and do what i could not
to avoid all those nasty hurtful blows.

blow me away dear Mighty Wind
for i don’t know where to go
i wish it were so easy but i’m afraid i’m all tinned
like the rest of the sturgeon’s roe.

here’s my resignation but i can’t give in
drowned and shekelled i feel faint
to who can i go, who knows where i’ve been
who can appreciate sinner from saint?

troubled, weary, here you are my precious dear
in my time i wanted to run away too
somehow i know all that u worry, hurt and fear
dear child would i lie to you?

i’ll bring you closer to Home where you belong
if only you would just hang on
i know what has happened, it’s not right nor wrong
it’s past and forgiven, it’s long gone.

come back to me, and hold on to me
would i lie to you?
brighter days come soon you will see
soon your skies would turn right back blue.

i love you my dear. that is that.
