Bring it back the moment
when love was not a choice
when faithfulness just happened
to be the inner voice

Bring it back the freedom
that vacuume deeply missed
that void of true desire
when nothing much is kissed

Bring it back the reason
that no one understood
that tree upon the hillside
beyond the works of good

Bring me back the gallows
the razorblade the gun
bring it back the moment
the sacred word of one
