Love After Love
Uncover your mirror's you can love
Your self again.
Be it some form of mental illness that
Was the root cause
At your age you can fix or alcoholism,
Seek out the help that you need.
The stranger will only for a short time
Fill the empty sail,
The sail on your boat that is you.
Give unto me some bread wine and cheese
For as long as the hunger of love has departed.
Did you from your past sweethearts keep
All those letters you read?
As I go through the photos of women I've known,
A simple reminder that life still goes on.
Have you still not uncovered the mirror that's you.
Feast on each love and lift up your head there
Is still love after love.
