I Love That Man

I love that man when he's on stage

I hear bad things in a good way

And how I thank you all the time

So don't refuse this thank you of mine

And I arrive at your feet in peace

And I spend my time as I please

And I can't stop light from shining in

My goddamned breath keeps breathing

And at your end and your leaving

May you have no sin worth grieving

And I hope that I can someday ask

Something new to you at last

Now you talk, I'll pour

And our nearness grows

And when I'm bored, I'll let you know

This black ink cross that's on our palms

Let's keep them on

And never wash them off

It ain't for God, it's just for us

Once my friend but never again

And once we're in, we never end
