Paroles de San Francisco Courthouse Steps

I slept in a memory of pride

for a friend sleeping stronger than me

in a dream of a home where he slept next to lovers in peace


And I slept in a memory of guilt

for the worries that keep me awake

in a fragment of earth that I spent twenty years trying to shake



Out west there's a stone and a flower

in memory of things turned to dust

a song sung to wolves while they fed on a book full of rust



In time we'll be written in history


Oh, how we love what we know
