dead man dear dead more than one dear dead bouquet
my own death in all your faces dear gone away
•
the radio scribbles out the silence silence erases the sound no answer is an answer
•
what do I want to say to you now that your time and my chance are past
no matter this page will be you will do
dear ear wish you were here
this circle is want
mama papa gone away come again another day
want only the sound of the wind
