Don'T Cry For Me, Dreamer

I thought I read love in your eyes Now I know better Than to assume and presume ties Free us from the guess fetter That had my eyes blind Locking me up in a sentiment prison Where you floated unkind To glorify, modify and terrify the reason I thought in my heart I knew When our eyes first met When I thought anew About the feeling I get In my head In my restless heart On my lonely bed From illusion of you I need to depart To save my soul To grant you time and space To score your goal in your rebel role That freedom from want I ought to embrace If sanity should inhabit Once again the peace of mind I need to regain as a matter of habit For you and I axes never again to grind In symbol In action In gamble and ramble In true notion of portions of affection Sailed and held dear Beneath the roll of a tear shed Strung in an unnamed fear Time to let go, my dear Mildred Time to cut down losses Time to pick up the pieces Time to accelerate coin and die tosses Above all, time to erase spare spices As I wish you well Enjoying your spell in Eden While dreams in my streams swell Without your blurring my vision in the sodden garden.
