Song lyrics, Slow Train Coming (1979), Precious Angel

“If you get hungry enough, they say, you start eating your own heart.”

“In secret we met
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.”
When We Two Parted (1808), st. 4.
Context: In secret we met
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
