Harbinger Of Joy

I am thirsty for your company
All day longing for you next to me
Burning, soothing, ancient melody
Complex, primal, distilled memory
Pour your soul over my stones
Mixing your blood with my own

Have you always been a part of me?
Who cares! Just don't ever part from me
One man's poison (lies and sophistry)
Better living through your chemistry
While I still function at all
Whether I run or I crawl

My friend Jack
Drinks like a Cadillac
Smokes like a chimney stack
Always reaching for more

Nurse that pain
Nipping away disdain
All disappointment drained
By a healthier pour

Won't you drink in paradise with me
Won't you suffer for eternity
