Dedicated to Dan Van Vliet and Tim Buckley

Protecting your heart, or opening her up

Night's a hot fever

Night's a cruel warrior

Night's pungent and hypnotic.

In this night no one whispers your language

Trust, protect, love, repair, advance

Trust, protect love, repair, advance

Trust, protect, love, repair, advance.

Waddling down passageways through tunnel or alley

Feeling warm, as if you've never hugged before

Feeling care, loving, share when you're there

Feeling night's flowering, remembering its perfume.

Quickly grasping what you didn't know--time dissipates so quickly

Learning lover's faces and paces

Learning to be alone, to be lost and found

Learning to be torn down, to be stoned and come around.

And when you’re falling, falling to your choice

Fall and tumble to disperse the pain

Fall where you want to, consciously aim

Fall and summer, winter and spring.

Fall's a warning, protect your heart

Summer's a hot fever

Winter's a cruel warrior

Spring's pungent and hypnotic.

Drive through this night assuming your arrival

And carry enough change to purchase your survival.
