Modern Day Babylon
Memory
My lovely boy, where did you go?Caught in the sails? I don't knowI waved you off, eighteen years oldYou came back angry and coldI know we haven't been the best of friendsBut here's an offer now that never endsLook how far my open hand extendsWe've got lots of time to make our mendsOn the holidays and at weekendsOh, I never really knewWhat all my brags and boastsThey must have done to youNo, I never meant to castA shadow so opaqueSo heavy, or so vastMy lovely boy, ah, there you areI knew you couldn't be farIf all's forgot, promise me thenDon't ever leave me again
