She after twilight, she after all She when I've lost sight of my outline on the wall She when I can't sleep, when I'm restless and torn With a lantern to lead me through a cold and terrible storm Sometimes I can't breathe, sometimes I can't stand I butchered all of my dreams to feed my dying plans Like any desperate man I'm a desperate man
She as a ribbon tugging on a bell Or a pail being risen from the bottom of a well She if we move closer, she should we remain She without her shelter setting free the rain I swore I was thirsty in the river and hungry in the garden While she poured her silver into the trembling beggar's hand Like a giant She's a giant
