| They entered his hotel room tomahawks | G |
| Flashing like barracuda He tried to pray | H |
| Three years of treatment Occasionally he talks | G |

| Daily the prowling sunlight whets its knife | I |
| Along the sidewalk We almost never meet | D |
| In the Rembrandt dark he lifts his amber life | I |
| My bar is somewhat further down the street | D |
