Road Boy Blues by Myssouri
Road Boy Blues lyrics
Symbols linger in the sutures w
here I�ve stitched our lives together.
Your body figures in my future
with a boa�s tender tether!
I�ve got a love to shelter us
like a flesh and bone umbrella!
A holy home hewn in stone,
sanctified and hallowed.
Well, you know
that deed will be deemed undue�
when they pry my cold dead hands off you!
Nimble fingers stroll
your velvet cheeks,
a tear appears and travels.
I�ve scoped the scape
and I will not speak
while brittle ties unravel!
I�ve got a love like a carnal cope!
A sanguine shrine! A bony tope!
But I see the ciphers in your eyes
like hungry hempen collars.
Well, you�ll know you�re free,
you�ll know we�re through�
when they pry my cold dead hands off you!
My hands can�t set you free!
They cleave to thee,
or they fall to atrophy.
My hands have two holes
that sing where I clenched the rings,
where I wore the rood of love!
No agency, no measure
could lessen love�s great torture!
But with my hands upon this treasure,
death itself becomes conjecture!
