Let’s Talk, You And I. Let’s Talk About Fear. The House Is Empty As I Write This; A Cold February Rain Is Falling Outside. It’s Night.

What Do You Really Want To Know? Am I Sorry For What I Did? There's Not A Day Goes By I Don't Feel Regret. Not Because I'm In Here, But Because You Think I Should Be. I Look Back On The Way I Was.

That Kid's Long Gone, And This Old Man Is All That's Left.

Friends And Lovers Lie Endlessly, Caught In The Web Of Regard. How Tiresome!
