Showed me pictures in the gallery

Showed me novels on the shelf

Put my hands across the table

Gave me knowledge of myself.

Showed me visions, showed me nightmares

Gave me dreams that never end

Showed me light out of the tunnel

When there was darkness all around instead.

Tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my message would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time

you know it's hard some time.



Showed me ways and means and motions

Showed me what it's like to be

Gave me days of deep devotions

Showed me things I cannot see.



Tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my purpose would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time.

You know it's hard some time.



Showed me different shapes and colours

Showed me many different roads

Gave me very clear instructions

When I was in the dark night of the soul.



Tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my writing would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time.

you know it's hard some time
