Analysis of The Voice
The wind is shaking again
Looking for a portrait of yesterday
Who from the past dreams is alive
There's a hole instead of a link
Tomorrow is calling to buzz
Drinking denying bread
In leather and a hat, a whip
The voice fell into falsetto
Trembling between the cords of life
A look of equivocation, a plea
With the smell of ripe rye
