All of It All

a coward this morning
 black after backing away
 and no explanation
 could ever explain it away
 but could your bones be so bright?
 and would it all be all right
 if you layed them tonight
 with me, safe beside
 the thing about lifetimes
 is sometimes you have to be cruel
 it's sad that it's sad
 but don't let that dampen you
 no, to live you must die
 yes and more than one time
 you must kiss it goodbye
 and never go back to that life
 your arms can be magic
 it all can be magic you know
 you all ways can have it
 but not like you wanted i know
 there is only one way
 there is only one way
 it's the onliest way
 you must give it away
 i mean give. it all. away.
 your hands have fingers and fingers are muscles
 and muscles they pull and pulling they told you how
 someone once told me we'd always be pulling along
