O Song

You don't keep me company, You all turn out wrong, If you are my daughters, if you are my sons, I can only hold you inside for so long, O song, did I lead you on? If you are my love, well love what's wrong? You don't keep me company for near enough long, I can't feel or touch you, or hold you for long, O song, are you leading me on? Friends come in time, and then they are gone, I know what it's like to be floating along Without a warm body to heap your cares on, O on and into the night. For I have been bad now for twenty years long, For centuries you have been pure and strong, If you thought me a good place to stay you were wrong, O song, did I lead you on? --- O Song - Augie March
