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
