   Limestone and yew, and the things that I do..  When the nights seem to go on for days...

   Dogwood and snow, all the places I go... But without ever going away...

   The songs that I fight and the tears that I write.. On the wings of some dead seraphim...

   Shadow and white, and the words I recite:     I wasn't good enough for him...

   Nimbus and pine and the waltz of the Rhine.. How he loved when I spoke of the country..

   But Virginia is grey, and the things that I say... Seem to shed every shred of their beauty...

   Traver tine walls, promenades, and crest-falls... And a cup that's been filled past
the brim...

   Tractor and plow, and it's clear to me now:    I wasn't good enough for him...
