I Was Going To

I wanted to show you things I don't bring to your house An ever moving ocean and all it's moving bowels An enterance of an ocean that no longer exists How it works and how it no longer lifts I wanted to show you the yulk of it all Then spend an emotion shopping at my mall I was waiting for you to visit them all The window at Orlando the magic of my gifts How well I speak Latin to the Gargoyle on call The flip of a wand and an ancient song going on Time I saved for you and I really was wrong The time I saved for you dear now all gone I wanted to show the parks And what I did that saved sparks I wanted to fly over the mountians that I climbed once more Then show you what I did with it when we tore down the wall But I guess none of that matters what all I did If you knew what you were calling me there You would never need me here to ever go there And you would put what ever you had left of me over on the shelf

This is very touching and sad, Ruth. So much promise gone to waste! So much on offer, and yet.....the heart aches. // paul
