Stuck In Time
STUCK IN TIME
I’m stuck in time, all my ships have sailed
The sea is rising, as the cold winds wailed
If only my hands were not held by others
Your lack of foresight for me, it smothers
Your chains do nothing; but bind my free
When, all we ever do is agree to disagree
I’m stuck in time, all my ships have sailed
Time after time, these walls I have scaled
Won all my battles with my own fortitude
To find on the other side I’m still screwed
Your jealous minds are grinding me down
Forsaken I am all but done with this town
I’m stuck in time, all my ships have sailed
Took to walking, bounty paid, I am bailed
I've got holes in my pockets, no money I
Holes in my boots sleeping under the sky
I will have freedom whilst you but, bound
Making steady progress on newer ground
I’m stuck in time, all my ships have sailed
But; freedom given, I am no longer jailed
The sea will calm; the winds stop awailing
And, my life will become more plain sailing
Other ships will come, with room to spare
With more in common and more to share
