Berry------Blue------Bed
BERRY BLUE RED
With all due respect, is it easy to be easy like you?
To take in stride the times you’ve cried and the tears that you willed away
See, a person like me has to take the wrong for the right item in lieu
But if you have a way to turn empathy into easiness I really wish you’d say
Is it easy to get up in the morning from your berry blue bed,
Although the weather man said it might be beleaguering and breezy?
Somehow you know it’s you who’ll end up ahead
So I ask, is it easy amidst the mayhem to simply be easy?
I don’t know you but your eyes are Western-Union missives and messages
You’re quite smart enough to understand and complex enough to know
You don’t know me but I’ll bet that you know I’ve done some damages
And the collateral damage is what makes me feel so f*****g low
You said some words to me and put the word “good” back in “good day”
Therefore that which I am asking in precise terms is if the following be true
Do you sail through life with a stem stern enough whenever the tide is high
Since out of all my cohorts and acquaintances the only one who knows “easy” is
you
