Dear all,

A special thank you to Mr. Robert Fripp (guitar, soundscapes), Mr. David Sylvian (vocals, keyboards) and Mr. Trey Gunn (Chapman stick) for writing and performing this beautiful piece of poetry called "Damage", taken from the Sylvian/Fripp album of the same name.

Sweet Valentine's day to you all,

Damage
(Written by Robert Fripp/David Sylvian/Trey Gunn)

I found the way
By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
These are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice

Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, star blind
Tied to someone

Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything,
Everything

Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face
We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun
Earthbound, star blind
Tied to someone
