as long as a block is black - robert pollard lyrics

how, you ask, will i know you?
especially when i can’t see you in my sleep
i’m afraid to be with you
only when you are gone, then shall i weep
take my shape and then
follow me, my childhood friend

would i lie? i would die
if you walked into my room
some may cry, some may smile
and say it’s great to be alive
should i stay, should i go?
indecision is my mind
my heart cries for the place i can no longer find
