We were both sitting br In a little non-descript bar br Where the loneliness br Hung heavily in the air br Like cigarette smoke. br br In nearly drunken conversation, br You said you were br Sadly obsessed br By girl named Erica br Who turned into br A mythical dream and disappeared br Like Daphne into a laurel tree. br br And I felt br Like we were brothers br In a world of beautiful women br Who fly away br Like untamed exotic birds br Which men can never cage.
