There Sure Are a Lot of Lousy Poets Comin' Round To Sound Like Charlie Manson

I’LL ALWAYS BE AROUND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND When feeling trapped some people take to the sky Some others take to the sea I was wondering if a woman like you could teach me to fly Nay, surely not a knave like me I’ve been deceitful or sometimes delightfully kind And worked all day like a honey bee for a simple kiss good night But one never knows what’s going on in my mind And as I stated previously to be free some take to flight I’ve heard tell of the ocean’s waves rocking one to sleep I’ve heard tell of flying in the sky with an eagle as my companion I’ve been told the sea will grant you that which you will reap But I will likely reap my living life in a canyon So sew those seeds of loveliness my dear And reap that which you are due you are, a gentle lady and wondrous is what I tend to hear Yet I will never even get to shake hands with invisible you I know you have your obligations She walks a little slower every day You deserve strident standing ovations For not abandoning the lady of gray Some people take to the sky and some come to the sea Instead of trying like me to walk through life completely numb Because that’s what life and love feels like to me So if I take to the sea or the sky would you maybe like to come?
