Toss a Coin

I wrote this orphan poem to see if the infamous Australian musician Paul Kelley can torn it into a song. Many have tried and failed.. Toss a Coin (c) London F. Buss I left my smile on a train going all the way to hell, The fires gone out, I'm covered in snow And I'm getting cold. I'm lost in lake city growing old, Along Hwy 299 beetles-kill, the cedar trees That grow along the canyon walls. Does she love me? I just don't know, My fate's a coin toss. So I..Toss a coin And disregard co-incedence. Like Sisyphus in the snow. I left my smile on a train going all the way to hel I'm covered in snow and it's getting cold And I'm lost in Lake City growing old, The Ice wall's stab at the snow And blood is forming On the badgers nose. And my hearts still broken and confused and I still don't know, if she loves me, So I toss a coin? And disregard co-incidence.. As the sunset's blood glows on the badgers nose.. So I'm back on the train to Hell Looking for my smile That she once loved so well. Now she is lost in Lake City And Covered in snow, Getting cold and growing old. So Toss a Coin And disregard co-incidence. And she is lost in Lake City Getting cold and growing old. So Toss a Coin And disregard co-incidence. Now I'm still on that train looking for my smile I lost, long ago, going all the way to hell...
