he was crazy, of course

from the first she must have known it

but she ***** went on with him

and never once had shown it

she took him off the streets

and she dried his tears of grieving

she believed in his believing

oh he was the sun burning bright and brittle and

she was the moon shining back his light a little

he was a shooting star, she was softer and more slowly

he could not make things possible

but she could make them holy - holy

well she gave him a daughter and she gave him a son

she was a mother and a wife, and a lover when the day was done

when he was too far gone for giving love

what he offered her instead

was the knowledge she was the only thing

that was not in his head
