Without Thorns

by FALLING MAN

on A Christening (1988)

A funderal party parts for you
A widowed ghost with 20's eyes
I've had enough blind devotion
Say the words and I'll fall


Greta Garbo acting for herself
Ashamed to see you
With a thousand I will follow you
With peach roses in my head, love
Without thorns
Without thorns

Sister sister
What'd you tell her
Say it to me
Say it to me

Sister sister
What'd you tell her
Say it to me
Say it to me

A time for answers, make or break me
Would you bother like you say
Cats in glass call us forward
A slow procession growing doubt

In the echo of a prayer
I pass my hand
I only hope that I am not too late
With peach roses in my hand, love
Without thorns
Far too slow

Sister sister
What'd you tell her
Say it to me
Say it to me

Sister sister
What'd you tell her
Say it to me
Say it to me

Say it to me
