To Ramona

Ramona, come closer, shut softly your watery eyes

The pangs of your sadness will pass as your senses will rise

For the flowers of the city

Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes

And there's no use in trying to deal with the dying

Though I cannot explain that in lines

Your cracked country lips, I still wish to kiss

As to be by the strength of your skin

Your magnetic movement still captures the minutes I'm in

But it grieves my heart, love

To see you tryin' to be a part of a world that just don't exist

It's all just a dream, babe

A vacuum, a scheme, babe

That sucks you into feelin' like this

I can see that your head has been twisted and fed

With worthless foam from the mouth

I can tell you are torn between staying

And returning back to the South

You've been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand

Yet there's no one to beat you, no one to defeat you

'Xcept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

I've heard you say many times

That you're better than no one and no one is better than you

If you really believe that

You know you have nothing to win and nothing to lose

From fixtures and forces and friends

Your sorrow does stem

That hype you and type you

And making you feel that you gotta be just like them

I'd forever talk to you

But soon my words would turn into a meaningless ring

For deep in my heart I know there's no help I can bring

Everything passes, everything changes

Just do what you think you should do

And someday maybe, who knows, baby

I'll come and be crying to you
