13.Love Among the Thorns

Yesterday I had a daydream,
The eyes of all the ones I love were turned away.
I played my music loud.
That's just the way I am.
I refuse to let a daydream bring me down.

Yesterday I was a much different man
I tore my jacket on a thorn.
The trees all seem to me like women swaying to and fro.
And laughing at the man with the tear in his coat.

Mama won't you rock the cradle of my soul?
Time has broke my father's back, dragged his heart across the
coals.
All I can do, from the day that I was born,
Is to look for love among the thorns.
