Lazy River - Kevin Krauter

Like a thorough bread horse arching its neck in dying light

Letting its mane grow long and flow into the night

Time is still but deep and runs its current through my heart

The lazy river flows to oceans in the dark

Through my window blinds the sunlight seems to slowly fall

As my candle burns I see my shadow dancing on the wall

Though I know not where to go I’ll follow so close behind

Give it one more try as I weave myself into another life

In a thronging cavalry, filled with passion and forget

Writing twisted dreams held firm until the end

Unsurpassed in beauty she holy Helen came and went

Only thoughts of loveless passion did she spend

Now I go with her and sacrifice my only child

In perverted paraphrase I worship shadows in the night

Though I know not where to go I’ll follow so close behind

Walk into the light as I weave myself into another life
