Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

There To Disappear

with muted senses, searching so as not find
      
shuffling our feet as, as all our precious clocks un-

  winding and wily, what be your business here?

    if not to remind me of who I am..., and then 

        and there to disappear, and then

             and there to disappear


guarded ignorance, wonder doesn't have a name

 curtsy t' indiff'rence as nights follow days again

no time for distance, let me ring a bell in your ear

 all out of patience, turn another page..., and then

         and there to disappear, and then 

               and there to disappear


     all these demands, this fuss for affection

   who needs love when we've got protection? and then

      and there to disappear, and then 

        and there to disappear
