John J. Geddes...glass words for you, Beloved–rain beads from an abacus of pain...
About This Quote
The lyrics to "Glass Words for You" are very powerful. They are about a woman who has lost her lover, but it is not through death, but through betrayal. She has been betrayed by the man she loved the most, and now she must go on. The song has a great sense of urgency to it, which is captured well in the lyrics.
