The Scribiner's Song

Ripples in the stream
Come now back to me
Reflections in the dream
Come now back to me
The tearing at the seam
Come now back to me
The tearing of the dream
Come now back to me
With the bone and with the scream
Come now back to me
With the malice and the steam
Come now back to me
Lovers' quarrels soon do heal
Come now back to me
Numbness take all that can feel
Come now back to me
And with the pits and with the peel
Come now back to me
Something's you can't get, only steal
Come now back to me
Dulcet dreams and songs of  night
Come now back to me
The nightingale once more takes flight
Come now back to me
Who can ever recall delight
Come now back to me
My eyes now blind and sans insight
Come now back to me

Come now back to me
If ever I had your song
Come now back to me
If ever you were young
Come now back to me
If your memory is wrong
Come now back to me
If I ever did belong
