Well, lookee here. I can answer this one, and I'm only THIRTEEN YEARS too late for anyone to care!

The song in question is one of Bob Franke's lesser-known pieces (but still gorgeous, as are more or less all of Bob Franke's songs.) It's actually called 'Nectar of Life'.

-----------------

NECTAR OF LIFE
(Bob Franke)
As recorded on 'Bob Franke: Brief Histories', 1989
(Also present in 'The Bob Franke Songbook' (1992) but that's next to impossible to find.)

This place ain't the worst, but I've heard of better
The few mistakes I made gave them the law and the letter
So they put me here
What do judges know
But their fear of death?

CHORUS:
Do they know I was a bastard I was a saint of the church
I did for my lover and I did good work
I worked for my children and my self-respect
And the nectar of life never left my tongue
Forever young

My children think me no more a human, they're afraid of my shit
They seem to forget that I put up with theirs
I was a saint of God until He left me to this
Buried alive and betrayed by a kiss
What do children know
But their fear of death?

(CHORUS)

My last long lover is ten years gone, the fears of my friends are not fantasies
They die in no particular order
I cry out for justice but the orderlies prefer not to hear
They call me crazy
But they fear death.

(CHORUS)

I remember well but I do not reminisce,
    I remember the shame that brought me down to this
They run from my anger and leave me to hate
It's too late for them to hear
But I do not fear death

(CHORUS)

Now, if you want to know what it's about, well, there I can't help you so much.
