Aaron Weiss

She put on happiness like a loose dress over pain I'll never know.

— Aaron Weiss

And so it goes, it's the Devil I suppose But it doesn't matter much to me.

— Aaron Weiss

Put music to our troubles and we'll dance them away.

— Aaron Weiss

I was once the wine, and you the wineglass. All things left were emptiness.

— Aaron Weiss

I'm not the boy that I once was, but I'm not the man I'll be.

— Aaron Weiss

If you look out and see a trace Remember me.

— Aaron Weiss

As we melt let's make no noise To tell the world our passing joys!

— Aaron Weiss

Her soul in the balance, my heart in her hands I made her a widow, she made me a man.

— Aaron Weiss

Tell all the stones we're gonna make a building... Reflecting any kind words, we'll let in all their blame...

— Aaron Weiss

Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?

— Aaron Weiss

Brother! I am far away from everything good.

— Aaron Weiss

When I satisfied each need invented by my eyes, Till it was nothing like I'd imagined.

— Aaron Weiss

You knew better than to pay mind to what people and the devil say.

— Aaron Weiss

He made the world a grassy road before our bare, wandering feet, Then crushed the stones into the softest sand between our toes...

— Aaron Weiss

And You dance inside my chest where no one sees You!

— Aaron Weiss

Oh, rejoice, the Cleansing of my lips... rejoice, Salvation of my soul! And you think I don't mean what I say?

— Aaron Weiss

I threw the stones down at the reflection of my image in the water And I'm expected to believe that any of this is real?

— Aaron Weiss

God is Love and Love is real, yet the dead are dancing with the dead

— Aaron Weiss

Please, catch for us the foxes in the vineyard... the little foxes.

— Aaron Weiss

So turn your ears, you musicians, to silenceOh, wake up, sleepers, and rise from the dead!

— Aaron Weiss

I was dead then alive, As scratch around the mouth of the glass, "My life is no longer mine."

— Aaron Weiss

Even the wind lay still, Tell them it's movement, movement, movement and... repose.

— Aaron Weiss

I said "water" expecting the Word would satisfy my thirst, When I haven't understood the first.

— Aaron Weiss

Stealing a bicycle chain as the handlebars crashed to the ground, But aimlessly drifting around.

— Aaron Weiss

Oh, doubters, let's go down...

— Aaron Weiss

You strike the match... why not be utterly changed to fire? To sacrifice the shadow and the mist of a brief life you never much liked?

— Aaron Weiss

Who's ever heard of a singer criticized by his song?

— Aaron Weiss

On a bus ride into town, I wondered out loud, "Why am I going to town?" I didn't have to wonder why I was laying down.

— Aaron Weiss

But if I didn't have You as my guide, I'd still wander lost in Sinai.

— Aaron Weiss

And You surround me, You're pretty but You're all I can see, I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long.

— Aaron Weiss

Down by the tracks watching trains go by To remind me: there are places that aren't here.

— Aaron Weiss

Grape on the vine... why not be crushed to make wine?

— Aaron Weiss

The Son of the widow When He died again?

— Aaron Weiss

Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives, It takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters.

— Aaron Weiss

I drank a thimble full of fire and I'm not ever coming back.

— Aaron Weiss

I do not exist, we faithfully insist, Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as You.

— Aaron Weiss

When the dryness and the rain finally drink from one another The gentle cup of mutually surrendered tears!

— Aaron Weiss

A fish swims through the sea And all the oceans - ink?

— Aaron Weiss

...as I go showing off again Of that same exact feigned humility!

— Aaron Weiss

One day the water's gonna wash it away And on that day, nothing clever to say.

— Aaron Weiss

You made this world to look so nice I wonder what the next one's like?

— Aaron Weiss

What new mystery is this?

— Aaron Weiss

The invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist: But makes no reply!

— Aaron Weiss

There, strapped like a watch on my wrist Seductively sold and uselessly mine.

— Aaron Weiss

And all of what little joy in the world Seemed suddenly simple and endlessly mine.

— Aaron Weiss

Daniel broke the king's decree, I hope that there's such hope for me.

— Aaron Weiss

Blind as I'd become, I used to wonder where You are- These days I can't find where You're not!

— Aaron Weiss

The sun and the moon, I want to see both worlds as One!

— Aaron Weiss

The sun and moon are my Father's eyes.

— Aaron Weiss

Open wide my door, my Lord, to whatever makes me love You more.

— Aaron Weiss

The harder the rain, the lower the flowers in the garden bend: Than to continue to pretend that this never ends.

— Aaron Weiss

The needle's worn the grooves too deep!

— Aaron Weiss

I wrote a little song for you But what good's a single windchime, hanging quiet all alone?

— Aaron Weiss

The music our collisions make!

— Aaron Weiss

Given my tendency to err so on the sentimental side, The mistakes were mine.

— Aaron Weiss

A speckled bird, humbly inspired, And it made me smile.

— Aaron Weiss

Now you say you wanna be set free? A union with the One who never dies.

— Aaron Weiss

In darkness a light shines on you and on me.

— Aaron Weiss

What in her do I require? The face of gratified desire.

— Aaron Weiss

The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

— Aaron Weiss

I do not exist, only You exist.

— Aaron Weiss

You wear a thin disguise, O, Light within my Brother's eyes!

— Aaron Weiss

The Angel of Death came to David's room, He said, "Friend, it's time to go."

— Aaron Weiss

But good Angel, don't I get a warning sign Before it's my time to go?

— Aaron Weiss

But I slew Goliath with the sling and stone, It's not my time to go.

— Aaron Weiss

The Donkey whispered in His ear: You'll ride someone that looks like me (untriumphantly)."

— Aaron Weiss

And the snake who'd held the world, a stick, a carrot and string Was crushed beneath the foot of Your not wanting anything.

— Aaron Weiss

You've got it all turned upside-down. But the One who looks out from your eyes looks through hers and through mine.

— Aaron Weiss

So may we old-fashionably suggest the Unmarried not undress?

— Aaron Weiss

You think you're you, but you don't know who you are, you're not you... you're Everyone Else.

— Aaron Weiss

As the Moon rose and the hour grew late, "Calling all volunteers who can carry back here, the Great Mystery's been lit once again."

— Aaron Weiss

In everywhere we look, Allah, Allah, Allah, in everyone we meet.

— Aaron Weiss

What effect is without a cause?

— Aaron Weiss

Let’s return now to the dust as the dust we are

— Aaron Weiss

I’m clearly not as handsome or caring as what you seem to want, but I’d gladly walk you home,‘cause those streets can be dangerous

— Aaron Weiss

Let's give up 'sacrifice' next Lent" Eh, that joke's long since been spent!"

— Aaron Weiss

We've both been untrue but i'm still counting on you like an invisible rosary

— Aaron Weiss

I often wonder if I've already died,Or if the 'I' is an unintelligible lie

— Aaron Weiss

Megalomania’s only mania if you’re wrong

— Aaron Weiss

Lord, for sixty-so years I've surrendered my love,and the rabble rang.

— Aaron Weiss
