lyrics

I like that your thoughts are noble. I like that your thoughts are yours. I want to learn to understand hatred. I want to let myself be coarse. I want to live like Edward Morgan. I want to learn to be gentle. I want to live like Edward Morgan. I want to learn to live in Poetry. The flowers don't spend their time waiting for Spring to come to erupt. They need time in peaceful solitude and i hope they are given enough. I want to live like Edward Morgan. I want to learn to be gentle. I want to live like Edward Morgan. i want to learn to live in Poetry. She was no dazzling executante; her runs were not at all like strings of pearls, and she struck no more right notes than was suitable for one of her age and situation. Nor was she the passionate young lady, who performs so tragically on a summer's evening with the window open. Passion was there, but it could not be easily labelled; it slipped between love and hatred and jealousy, and all the furniture of the pictorial style. And she was tragical only in the sense that she was great, for she loved to play on the side of Victory. Victory of what and over what-- that is more than the words of daily life can tell us. But that some sonatas of Beethoven are written tragic no one can gainsay; yet they can triumph or despair as the player decides, and Lucy had decided that they should triumph. (Chapter 3, A Room With A View, by E.M. Forster) There were some things i would've like to say to you about how its difficult to stay me and all about those funny ways you would show up in my dreams. I want to live like Edward Morgan. I want to learn to be gentle. I want to live like Edward Morgan. I want to learn to live in Poetry.
