Lyrics:
In the hollow of your arms Snuggled up safe and warm You used to tell me tales of unicorns and kings
But how could I comprehend All the things you told me then Of your maddness and your struggling
My mind would swim in fantasies Like a piece of driftwood on the sea I had no touchstone for reality You were my reality
Like a dark and unlit room Or the far side of the moon Your insanity spoke emptiness and fear
No matter how I tried How I questioned and I pried I just could not penetrate that thin veneer
And I know you tried to comfort me To soothe and reassure me But then your strength would always fail And in it's place a silken veil
Like a dried and wrinkled prune A deflated toy balloon I came home and found you strewn across the floor
And as they lay you on your bed I heard you say 'If I am dead, How come it just keeps on hurtin' more and more'
And you left me in the early spring All they said was 'Mommy's resting' And how was I to know so young It wasn't something I had done
So please try and understand I will love you as I can I do not blame you, you're not guilty
But still theres no way to describe The relief I finally found Upon learning it was you And not me
That was crazy
