Miscellaneous
Of the Highs, of the Lows
The rain was coming from the north
The wind was passing under my door
I planned to live strong
And that the devil take me
I went to the window
Wrapped in a sheet
I shook my head
I spread my arms
I was feeling up
br/>I had lows
I was more or less hot
And my whole life ahead of me
I had highs
I had lows
I think I wanted too much
I even got what I didn't want
I stayed locked up
Or wandered for days
Too many paths opened
Too many questions in return
I didn't kill my father
But I didn't remember
What he told me to do
Or what that he didn't say
I had highs
I had lows
I was more or less hot
And my whole life ahead of me
I I had ups
I had downs
I think I wanted too much
I even got what I didn't want
Every day I held myself ready
I waited for the hour and the page
Or the waters would open
Would give me a passage
Hope made me live
Waiting made me nervous
I found in the books
Enough to wait a little
I had highs
I had lows
I was more or less hot
And my whole life ahead of me
I had ups
I had downs
I think I wanted too much
I even got what I didn't want to
