Like Veils Said Lorraine (For the Roses Demo)

"It's the veils you tear off one by one," said Lorraine

"No, it's walls we put up," said that tired voice again

The chisel gets blunt and the sword gets profane

Nobody's blame

But you bind up the stone chips in the gauze that you've slain

You get so discouraged trying to cut through it all

More veils beyond veils, always walls behind the walls

"Get back in there" yells the golden glove

"When you gonna trust me?" Slams the friend

Learn how to bend

"Don't you worry now," says the sweet lover with his medicine hands

Oh, I don't wanna grow narrow and foolish in old age

And miss all that beauty, the wisdom and the grace

And you know you don't get that from high finance or fame

If you get stuck in that frame

Oh, the paint that you can put on your face and your name
