Just One

I just wanted a bigger piece of the pie And here I am, 70 and hunched, Showing kitchens, bathrooms and making offers. All I wanted was a little love and now I spend my day chasing grandkids my kids can’t raise. Peace, that's all I really wanted and now I nurse a bottom-shelf gin at the cracked leather bar in the empty pub. Just that one thing - that’s all I needed.
