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