a growing indifference

a growing indifference

roses and thorns will not release me
I try to get along, ‘doesn’t come easy

it isn't the money or the phony power play
y' just don't want me in the most familiar way
I've seen your eyes with a new distance
that won't be denied, a growing indiff'rence
oh yes, oh my
poor me, and mine

no burning rubber, 'hardly rollin' slow
talk to your lover, go, tell him, let him know
that I've seen your eyes, stranger than fiction 
that won’t be defined, a growing indiff'rence
I guess, love resigned
 poor me, and mine

now, from a distance
a growing indiff'rence

change clothes and go 
poor me, change clothes and mine
and go, and mine
