Do You? (I Do) - The Go Rounds

wade into the golden rye

fade into your final sigh

and don’t forget the names

of the people here who came to say goodbye

giving chase to higher highs

leaving space for all surprise

oh, and don’t forget the names

of the people who became what they despise

lies

leave alone the Texas Rose

stay at home and let it close

oh, and don’t forget the names

and the days we threw away exchanging blows

find from where the nectar flows

drink until your breathing slows

oh, and don’t forget the names

of the people here who drank that fatal dose

lows, lows, lows

lies, lies, lies

do you?

I do

I killed a blackbird and cut out the heart

spilled its blood upon some grim withholdings

I didn’t want it to hurt, you didn’t need it to cry

I held a raw flaw up to the light

threw its brood into the fire unfolding

what a wondrous spit what a wonderful sight

in the beginning it was singin' and ease

we pleased each other even in the morning

I didn’t want it to change I didn’t want it to die

we live to give in to the meatier parts

the ones that weigh upon your backbone moanin'

I didn’t want it to hurt but I was too late to try
