So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The song? Yeah. It's (and I think the poem form predates the song form) a narrative/biographical/navel gazing thing about a crush he had on a friend's woman when he still lived in Montreal.

Thanks for all the fish.

It's the flip in POV that gets me (I think "Old Apartment" by BNL does the same thing). Is it suddenly her singing? Who's the him?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
IIRC, Jesus
Yep, that's my take.
Heh. Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on just came up on my playlist (AIFG).

Okay. I'm good. It's the closest I'll ever come to having a song in my name, so I just needed to get it first.
