For Lorn

Is there any lower place to land on
Than this lonely seat in my favorite restaurant
The other guest is no one
I drink on my own and it's lotsa fun

Let the shadow shine
I'm turning into a river of wine
These mountains of doubts are mine

Illuminated by poor candlelight
Always afloat at night
Nightmares of my own design
Waiting for the mermaid's sign
Announcing the end of the plight
Let the shadow shine

Look at the ruthless warrior of modern times
Engaging no one to challenge his
Implacable vices, ambitious designs
One hand raises the glass, the other throws a kiss

My presence's loud & clear
Everybody knows I'm here
One speech for the left and one for the right ear
Do the waves reach you at all
Can you hear the big birds crawl
Through the cells of my brain-prison wall
Disturbances lead to the fall

But that is not what I fear
