Chapter and Verse

I feel you like a dream of a hearse
I know you like the angle of the sun
That hangs above me like an ancient curse
That echoes in my ears when the day is done
For what is lost I will rehearse
For I’ve memorized it chapter and verse
I walk the line in the white out time
I sit alone not lonely in the dark
The laws of karma like a nursery rhyme
Every breath I take every move I make leaves a mark
Yeah this is how worse came to worse
And I’ve memorized it chapter and verse
Got no plans but time on my hands
You on my mind and nothing but time
Got no plans and nothing to hide
Time on my hands and you on my mind
Who are you, I never knew
You played so many roles upon my stage
Father, mother, lover, friend
I said I’d stay until the story’s end
(Well, I guess this is the end)
What’s done is done, I can’t reverse
‘Cause you’ve memorized it chapter and verse
But what will save me from my worst
These fragments of chapter and verse
