by Allen Ginsberg
Oh when you gonna
lie down by my side
When the spirit hits you
please lie down by my side
Three nights you didn't come home
I slept by myself and sighed
O when you gonna
look me in the eyes
When the spirit hits you
look me in the eyes
Oh honey come hug me
take me by surprise
Take me by surprise
come home, lie down by my side
Away three days
Sometimes I cried
Lie here alone
Heart open wide
Gone another night
Hand on my heart close my eye
You don't want me in your arms
don't want to hear me sigh
That's how I'm alone
That's how I'm going to die.
~December 20, 1971 (Traum Folk Concert)
