Between Intent and Deed
Like the full moon calls to the Wolfman
Like a drink sings to a drunk
Like a holy ghost revival cries to the sinner
Like a siren and a sailor
Like an archer and a monk
Like the hope of spring clinging through the chill of winter
I can't leave you
Even when I try
Hell, you'll be the first to miss me
When I die
Remember how you found me
Making angels on the lawn
I was young and full of spirit still unbroken
You were steady as a surgeon
And as brilliant as the dawn
And I fell into your arms with eyes half open
But I can't love you
Any way you need
There's a great divide
Between intent and deed
Like a beggar needs a nickel
Like a a farmer prays for rain
Even when he knows the levee could be breaking
Like a sick man to a needle
Like an aspirin to the pain
Low hanging poisoned fruit, ripe for the taking
You can't save me
From this well
Anymore than you can save me from myself
And I can't love you
Any way you need
There's a great divide between intent and deed
Like a drink sings to a drunk
Like a holy ghost revival cries to the sinner
Like a siren and a sailor
Like an archer and a monk
Like the hope of spring clinging through the chill of winter
I can't leave you
Even when I try
Hell, you'll be the first to miss me
When I die
Remember how you found me
Making angels on the lawn
I was young and full of spirit still unbroken
You were steady as a surgeon
And as brilliant as the dawn
And I fell into your arms with eyes half open
But I can't love you
Any way you need
There's a great divide
Between intent and deed
Like a beggar needs a nickel
Like a a farmer prays for rain
Even when he knows the levee could be breaking
Like a sick man to a needle
Like an aspirin to the pain
Low hanging poisoned fruit, ripe for the taking
You can't save me
From this well
Anymore than you can save me from myself
And I can't love you
Any way you need
There's a great divide between intent and deed
