MISTAKEN
Theres a nagging thought inside my head today
But I wont do anything about it
Cos I`m counting down the days
To escape those needless strains
in this inner voyage
But I`ve awoken, not yet broken
I feel like the door is still half open
I`m still making & gladly taking
Anything that I`ve not completely
mistaken
The same wavelength
I never could find
Nor did I make the effort to try
Because I felt the mood in the air
enough times to know its not blowing my way here
Not taking sides
It`s an open divide
Can`t let it mess with your
soul or your pride
Until the time is Right
They can't begin to know
What's going on in her head
She gives so
Little away
Until the time is right
Leave a note on the table
For eyes that bleed in the dark
I don't believe for a second
Your giving any more than you could
No point holding anything against her
Finding everything is worthwhile
Like you do
Well it always strikes
a chord with me
Laughing in the face of adversity
The aging process is mind weaving
And the controls our out of our hands
Longing to fight the rain
Just about enough to make it Last
Sitting on the birthday chairs
Gathering my thoughts
Sun beating on the plastered walls
Wind blowing through me every way
Recalling little stories
Ones that really made me laugh
Whatever gets you through the day is
just about enough to make it last
I'm not prepared to let the mood dictate my day
I'm not prepared to let my feelings get in the way
This is our time
Don't want to let it pass us by
Got to say something worthwhile
I've been waiting for you to call
And everything seems fine
They say its just a variation of the same thing
day in day in and day out
Got no loose change, a drained brain, conversation lame,
too easy to lay the blame
But you'll never find her complaining about her situation
Even just an hour in the sun with her
Seemingly I made them nervous with the focus on intergration
But can one really afford to lose any sleep over someone who r
eally doesn't have a clue about you
They're taking a deeper breath this time
Living day by day self contained
And she doesn't need to listen so intently
To anything that doesn't require an answer
On the City Fringe
It's been a trying year
But we made it through
Don't know if we're here or there
So determined not to lose
Finally got a little piece of land
Not before time I might add
On the pretty city fringe
Overlooking western wares
Although home is home
Have I got the strength for what it takes
To make it?
Been working right through
Not sure if I'm in the right line
Just doing what has to be done
Smiles painted on the grill
Have I got the strength for what it takes to make it
Disconnected and protected
Oh we need to breathe fresh air
Moods changing without warning
Like the winter weather
It's a chance to regain what was lost
Now we're on the city fringe
Where the earliest shades did hide
Beauty sat bathing in the spring
where the earliest shades did hide her
As the winds blew calm
The cool streams ran beside her
Desire to see what was forbidden
But better thoughts overcame him
Into a slumber then he fell
Fond imagination
Appeared to see but could not tell
Today both kites fly
Scattered clouds and roaming skies
Daffidills hurry to bloom
Spring light beats down the room
The birds do sing again
Serenity captured now
Unnoticed only by a select few
If we never tasted adversity
Would prosperity ever seem so welcome?
Is it such a small thing?
To wish spring would last for evermore
