Kerrie Sursely Poet Ballad

Piano Man

I've got nowhere to go and this place 
is nowhere I should be. 
I can see it in your face forever isn't 
what you see when you're looking at me. 

I always try to run 
because safe feels better 
than when you leave 
and done is all I become!

But, there's just something 
in me that's held tight in your grip
I can't help but stare at the shape 
my name gives your perfect lips.

I hear you calling my name 
and each time I know tomorrow
I will never be the same.
But still I always run into 
a just love me fight- 
knowing its just to get you 
through your lonely nights.

I listen to you play your piano
singing to me with a smile...
“girl take me home, sweet baby girl,
it's better than wondering around all alone"
and it's so sad knowing tonight 
is all of me you'll ever want to know
and knowing all of this- still I dance for you,
Still, to you I always go!

And every time you kiss me you promise 
everything will be alright, you promise 
tomorrow you will call but, I know 
it'll only be a call creeping towards the night!
