I have a new-found fear of passion Especially passion for you. Like so many people back home Who are afraid to leave good ol' Columbiana County I remember that old fear now For I have a new found fear of lust and yearning And it lives in my heart and up my dress. You remind me Of the lust in my joints And the love in my eyes And the passion with which I once did Almost everything. I once loved passionately Danced passionately Failed and hurt passionately As if my passion were my soul mate It kept me warm at night. But in this big city I've done what most people do I've dumbed it down and closed it off Everything And as I pack my boxes to leave this place I can't help but admit That the promise of you-- Has started to open me back up again. Stroke my petals, baby I'm just a flower hiding in the dark. |
