The spirit as it was leaving my body
No, it would not stay for a while
I turned and watch it crawl away
So far away, I could not see that far
All those things I held so sacred
Thats failed me, they betray me
These pins, these needles
This crooked cross is bleeding deeply
Let the wine fill my veins
Bring the wind to change my mind
Wash away this dirty soul
The curtain it slowly closes
The players how they quickly change around you
Not a trace, no familiar face
The bruises we keep to ourselves
I reach out and I wait forever
I speak out and my thoughts die high
My spirit is denied, yeah
Let the smoke close my eyes
Bring the time to change my mind
Wash away this dirty soul
In the park, it's raining so hard
Wash away this dirty soul
Feelings always fade away
People change and lives are destroyed
Well I will never walk with you again
Never again will we share the days my friend
Oh my friend, oh my sweet friend
Let the smoke close my eyes
Bring the time to change my mind
