eye NEED the ledge....

today is....  september fourteenth....

today....  eye need....  the ledge....

eye need all eyes to look up to me....  high above the filthy streets....

wind blows cold from the west....

eye smell coffee....  eye smell doughnuts....  for the press....

the priest kneels silent....  all is still....

policeman reaches from the sill....  watch him try....  watch him try his best....  

there will be no medal pinned to his chest....

all the love that they pledge....  for the last time....  will not reach the ledge....
