D.O.A.

Into dark waters flow
Bad dreams of long ago
Children who never knew
What doors would open to
Flights taking weary souls
Life shakes of bitter cold
Love tears on golden shores
Teenaged, no more
What made you take the trip
How could you go so quick
Out through the open door
I wish I’d loved you more
D — O — A
Pure as the driven snow
Innocence now quickly goes
Hard pressed between the folds
Inside the overcoat
Warm hearts and homeless bound
Beware the city sound
Lying there below the street
Broken, hard and beat… yeah
In cries of angels fall
In time you hear them all
Each face a deeper down
Each heard a highway sound
Bound for the twilight flash
In tears the blinding match
A moments flame now cold
I knew her long ago
