She Said Sorry

Like a madman I still run

From the warlord and her gun

But I can't hold or shun such feelings

Like I'm Aphrodite's son

I'm so weak and I know that

But I'm in deep if I go back

She sat and stared about things at me

While I lay weeping on the mat

She said she wanted off the tracks

But how the hell would I know that

She had her paints and poems packed

I knew she'd turn my mornings black

And Kafirah sends the doves

They scream cross-eyed from above

I give her just the slightest shove

But she says, "Sorry, I'm in love"

And you can draw blood from a wall

But you can't fool yourself to thinking

That there's sorrow in her at all

And if the world is just a stage

Then show me to the part I play

And have some mercy on the way

My eyes are twisted in their vision

And all I ever see is grey

Hear the night and daytime play

I was knee-deep in the rainfall

But I stayed there anyway

And Kafirah's hands are torn

Between the petals and the thorns

On the rose I left alone

And the redness in what's gone

Oh, sing me another song

She told me that it all goes on

That I was wrong and I felt wrong

And it was just another day

To see the night and daytime play

I was knee-deep in disaster

But I stayed there anyway

On the doorstep I still stand

While she cups raindrops in her hands

And it's all more than I can stand

I was dreaming of disaster

And she lost my elegance

In the blueness of the bland expanse

Along with my advances

That I barely understand

In this room the curtains draw

To hide the blood behind the door

And I can't see her anymore

She said she'd seen it all before

And Kafirah sends the doves

They scream cross-eyed from above

I cried, "Enough is enough"

But she said, "Sorry, I'm in love"
