Jewels In Your Shoulder (Early Version of Take This Longing)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Many men have loved the bells That you fastened to the rein And everyone who wanted you Found what they will always want again And some will go to India And some will stay in Spain [Chorus] Ah, isn't it a pity? That you see your duty clearly In the midst of New York City In the midst of all this love [Verse 2] And I'm writing this to say goodbye To what you never should reply That of all the thoughts and demons you leave I stand entirely alone That is to say, your loving me Would be your only crime [Chorus] Now, isn't it a pity? That you see your duty clearly In the midst of New York City In the midst of all this love [Verse 3] Your body like a searchlight In thе prison of my need I will try your loneliness I will try your greed And evеrything depends upon How near you sleep to me [Chorus] And, isn't it a pity? That you see your duty clearly In the midst of New York City In the midst of all of this love [Verse 4] I will be writing this When you are so very young again That the forests that you burned away And sailed away are truly gone I will be waiting When a starfish is your hand [Outro] And the jewels in your shoulder Fall through the walls of sand, and Fall through the walls of sand
