Geese

You do not have to be anything better But, my darling, you cannot live like this forever Like wild geese flying towards something You do not have to do good, but you cannot do nothing The animal watching and letting you live You cannot offer up something that was not yours to give And I'm doing the talking, how I do in my sleep Just forgive me for wanting everything that you need And I'm pretty as ever, but it's never enough What is chasing you, brother? What is testing your luck? And there's a hole in the center, you can see through the crack It was there when you left, and it will be there When you come back When you come back I will not lay me down in front of the tracks If I swore that I meant it, then I take it back I'm running water overflowing the bath Something lost in the center turns the water black When you come back When you come back
