HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
THE TRUTH BE TOLD
HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE
BUT THERE HE HUNG
NAKED HUNG
AGAINST THE NOON DAY SKY
LIKE CARRION THEY CAME
TO SIT UPON THE LAWN AND WATCH
HOW SUCH A MAN WOULD DIE
NO MAN WHO HAS EVER CALLED ANOTHER…FRIEND
OR HELD A LOVER'S HAND
OR FELT THE PULL OF FALLING STAR
OR HEARD A ROBIN SING
NO MAN WHO HAS EVER BEEN IN LOVE
OR BOUNCED A BABY ON HIS KNEE
REALLY WANTS TO DIE
BUT THERE HE HUNG
NAKED HUNG
AGAINST A DARKENING SKY
HIS NEED FOR LOVE SO GREAT HE CRIED
I THIRST
THEY WONDERED WHY
AS HE HUNG
NAKED HUNG
AGAINST A NIGHT BLACK SKY
THE CARRION JUST STOOD AROUND
WAITING FOR HIM TO DIE
HE FELT THE COLDNESS OF THEIR HEARTS
AND CRIED TO HIS FATHER … WHY
ALL HIS PENT UP PASSION SURGING
HE CRIED TO HIS FATHER …WHY
AS HE HUNG
NAKED HUNG
FOR LOVE OF YOU AND I
