Keep Me Off Your Mind

Don’t look for me in the wind I refuse to whisper back The day after it rains I open my window To see what the world has to offer me Which has all gone away So I shut my window To dampen entering air Flowing into my personal Space. I don’t know which way the wind Is blowing. I dare not ask. With music playing Unpleasant background chords Accompanied by astute lyrics And the occasional scream There’s not enough beeswax on my hands I’ve ceased to grease my portfolio “I know we don’t know each other well But I can tell there’s a lot going on in your life right now” Said that girl. Well what you don’t won’t hurt you, So keep me off your mind.
