Penitentes

Penitentes

.

It's a mighty harsh driving rain

I’ve no faith that the sun is waiting

mind fogged, eyes waterlogged

and no hope from the anticipating

.

Raise an empty glass

And toast to a past

That came to an end

Faster than fast

.

My radio can't find a satellite

so, I'm left here alone with this thought

a dangerous place, you can see from my face

and the pain with which it is fraught

.

We’re just nine meals from anarchy

And I have met the enemy

It is me, the enemy

It is me

.

Penitentes formed by strong winds

blades of a snowy bishop

Or Spanish holy week, it’s penance I seek

For lent, I simply gave up

.

It matters not how the battle goes,

The day, how long

Faint not! Fight on! Tomorrow comes song

Be Strong, be strong, be strong

.

I cried with a stranger last night

Was shunned by the one I love

what will I become?

Just another shadow in the sun?

.

It's a mighty harsh driving rain

I seek faith that the sun is waiting

My mind’s clear, heart sincere

Search for hope in the anticipating
