Kasper, where did you go?
You don't remember half the show.
Kasper, how do you feel
When you find her steering wheel?
DUI in Winnipeg,
Waking up in a hospital bed.
Carol, what would you have?
Your blindfold or tethered hands?
Carol, which is your man?
Is he humble or violent?
Carol's name: expletive.
Taking back the life that she gives.
So brave but it was fools gold,
A rage within imagined images,
She makes shallow graves,
I'll betray Carol's real name.
Yellow doors on either side,
Secret revealed in her eyes.
Kasper, don't give up,
If you love her give her love.
Kasper, go lay down beside her.

By the stars a pine fire,
Oh her grass green eyes,
Before the fire finds a home.
There I lay, smokey bay,
I remember that beautiful lake,
I watched it try and fill a hole.
But of all the reindeer embers that kept their heat,
There was nothing like the feel of you and me,
You spoke of leaving town,
I'd go with you but I am still in school.
What a dream on the boats deck,
My hand moves around her neck,
I take my orders from the Queen.
Carrie waves, mouths agape,
She receives like a flytrap hangs,
In my garage where I learned to play my guitar and sing,
But of all the heavy songs I wrote for her,
There was none that knew the color of her hair,
They were young and full of pain,
And cut through the air, why would I care to explain?
Cherry wine, Jekyll, Hyde,
I live in a sundown sky,
The hazy overtones are all mine.
But of all the reindeer embers that kept their heat,
There was nothing like the feel of you and me,
We spoke of being the same,
And that's when you drove away.
And with a rapture, taken aback, I hid my face,
And waded out far into the lake,
There I said a prayer probably to no one:
Am I too young to love?
"Love is love"
