Lonely learning

When makeshift can be broken
who can fix it ?
I have the words to say Im lonely
like a grandfather clock without the chime
Ive swallowed my own silverspoon
I may join the Salvation Army
if you dont believe in me soon
Something on the lines the good die young
Life is like crying
yet its more like reading a book
and finally reaching the end
you turn the pages and start again
Can we honestly say weve learned ?
