Downtimer
Did y’ ever write a song?
And then try t’ sing along
And find the words were getting in the way
Of a musical lament that y’ really hadn’t meant
For someone you’d just met along the way
Are y’ lonely?
Are y’ feelin’ kinda blue?
Is it only
That there’s nothin’ you can do
To make it right
there are places in my life
Wrapped up and tied with strife
Stuffed and hidden deep inside my soul
As I walk with blinders flapping
Trying to avoid forgotten pain
I wonder if I’ll ever sing again
Are y’ lonely
Feelin’ sorta blue?
Is it only
Coz there’s nothin’ y’ c’n do
To make it write?
