    ANOTHER DAY (Roy Harper)

    the kettle's on, the sun has gone
    another day
    she offers me tibetan tea on a flower tray
    she's at the door, she wants to score
    she dearly needs to to say
    I loved you a long time ago
    where the winds own forget me nots blow
    but I just couldn't let myself go
    not knowing what on earth there was to know
    but I wish that I had
    cos I'm feeling so sad
    that I never had one of your children
    and across the room inside a tomb
    a change is waxed and wanes
    the night is young why are we so hung up
    in each others chains
    I must make her, I must take her
    while the dove domains
    and feel the juice run as she flies
    run my winds under her sighs
    as the flames of eternity rise
    to lick us with the first-born lash of dawn
    o really my dear
    I can't see what we fear
    sat here with ourselves in between us
    and at the door we can't say more
    than just another day
    and without a sound I turn around
    and I walk away
