Song For Zula - Ronnie Fauss

Some say love is a burning thing

That it makes a fiery ring

Oh but I know love as a fading thing

Just as fickle as a feather in a stream

See honey I saw love

It came to me

It put it's face up to my face

So I could see

Yeah then I saw love disfigure me

Into something I am not recognizing

See the cage it called I said

Come on in

I will not open myself up

This way again

Nor lay my face to the soil

Nor my teeth to the sand

I will not lay like this for days

Now upon end

You will not see me fall

Nor see me struggle to stand

To be acknowledge by some touch

From his gnarled hands

You see the cage

It called I said

Come on in

I will not open myself up

This way again

You see the moon is bright

In that treetop night

I see the shadows

That we cast in the cold

Clean light

My feet are gold

My heart is white

And we race out on the desert

Plains all night

See honey

I am not some broken thing

I do not lay here in the dark

Waiting for thee

No my heart is gold

My feet are light

And I am racing out

On the desert plains all night

So some say love is a burning thing

That it makes a fiery ring

Oh but I know love as a caging thing

Just a killer come to call

From some awful dream

O and all you folks

You come to see

You just stand there

In the glass looking at me

But my heart is wild

And my bones are steam

And I could kill you

With my bare hands if I was free

If I was free

I was free
