my own psalm (thank you, blake)

o angel wings, o pistol bore.
don't raise me up. please ask for more.
i found six things that made you cry.
i love the things that made you lie.

o weeping song, o falling sound.
it's always black with you around.
beware the man. beware the beast.
for they're the ones who love you least.

o fifty years, o crashing wall.
it's been so long. were you here at all?
i saw you when you came to town.
it's always bright with you around.

o waiting phone, o sinking glass.
how long is it since i saw you last?
these cathedral walls can only frown.
it's always good with you around.

i miss you so, but you don't know.
i guess i'll wait for you to come home.
