A Word Or Two From Da
‘tis nae s’ hard t’ write wi’ heat
Sa lang as ye c’n feel
The tethers on y’ hands an’ feet
As future turns the wheel
There’s simple folk who will repeat
The failures of their ilk
And smarter swifter carrion
Will hide their knives in silk
The wall of time yet stands t’ hide
The future from the past
An’ a’ the heads that ha’ na’ banged
Have saved the bind t’ last
If one smart man could poke a hole
and take a little peek
He’d likely patch it up s’ fast
He’d just be gone a week
So stay awa’ from one eyed men
Wi’ terror hid in t’ other
And fight t’ stay a child my son
While caring for y’ mother
