Garden Fence Slam
All of a sudden
It feels somehow ok to say i love you now
Whilst praying for the dying
Hoping death forgives live mistakes and misguided hates
The Rushes blow the breeze
While Pollen makes my eye's water
and nose sneeze
As a lawnmower scythes through woolen summer grass
The garden fence that keeps me up
at night when it rattles
Though looking at it i won't fix
Just another reason to complain
Like the noisy neighbours and barking dog
The fog never lifts on meadow field
In fact if anything i am causing it
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
The weather can't change it's spots
Drumming on a Toy Piano
Underneath cobwebs on filty curtains
Wishing to open unopened presents
Where the wrapping paper means more than the actual gift
Because it belongs to someone else
Sometimes love is like leading the blind
And everybody hurts
When others hurt you
So quiet
Shallow
Desolate
Shhhhhh baby don't cry
It's ok
Where getting out of here
Sad is all our yesterday's
We have paid our Due's
The Bible told us so
