Constant Without Me
And you were not to be a constant in my life
I saw you face down in the river
You lay there for weeks until one day
I passed by, expecting
But you were gone
Maybe the current flowed into you
And the water became your blood
And the cold stone softened
Right through to the core
Becoming your heart
And just as the night was ending
When no-one was looking
You rose into life
You rose from the river
I dream you are out there somewhere
A real man
Constant without me
Constant without me knowing
