Lewis Furey

The first time I saw you
you were dancing in the rain
That was your way, my honey
of nursing your pain

I said, How very apropos,
what a clever so and so
And I cast you
as my poetic young man

The next time I saw you
your eyes were all ablaze
We talked of my plans for you
and you were neutralized with praise

I said, How very apropos,
what a modest so and so
And I cast you
as my poetic young man

Whatever you've gained
I'm ripping it off you
The particular stamp
Of your peculiar pain

Whatever you've trained for
Kid, I'm busting
Love me now
'cause I'm leaving you

The last time I saw you
you were standing in the sun
Frozen, immortal,
you had a hand on your gun

I said, How very apropos,
what a perfect so and so,
And I cast you
as my muse forever and ever more

I cast you as my muse
forever and ever more
