Just Goes Out of My Head

Lyrics By Mick Hills. 	                         
Just Goes Out of my Head.  

Verse 1
I’m standing here all alone, not sure where or why 
I had some thoughts a time ago, memories drifting by
Can’t seem to keep my thoughts, they just melt away
Need to write it down, remember what to say                                       

Thinking bout a time in life, then it just goes out of my head
Tried to recall, a conversation and all things we said
This should be so easy, I just don’t know why 
My thoughts seem to disappear into my mind’s eye                                 

Verse 2
Getting old it aint fun, hard to concentrate
Fix my mind on the outside world, in a steady state
Walking through this door, I stop and wonder why
My brains gone to overload, it’s empty as the sky                              

Thinking bout a time in life, then it just goes out of my head
Tried to recall, a conversation and all things we said
This should be so easy, I just don’t know why 
My thoughts seem to disappear into my mind’s eye

Verse 3
You may think that I don’t care, I never listen to you
Try to hear what you have to say, I really really do 
I’ll try hard in future, maybe need to slow my pace
Remember all the things you say and in the right place                                        

Thinking bout a time in life, then it just goes out of my head
Tried to recall, a conversation and all things we said
This should be so easy, I just don’t know why 
My thoughts seem to disappear into my mind’s eye

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I wrote these lyrics to a song in January 2018, it's really just a reflection on old age, if I don't write it down, it's gone
