Toss a Coin
I wrote this orphan poem to see if the infamous Australian musician Paul Kelley can torn it into a song. Many have tried and failed..
Toss a Coin
(c) London F. Buss
I left my smile on a train going
all the way to hell,
The fires gone out,
I'm covered in snow
And I'm getting cold.
I'm lost in lake city
growing old,
Along Hwy 299 beetles-kill, the cedar trees
That grow along the canyon walls.
Does she love me?
I just don't know,
My fate's a coin toss.
So I..Toss a coin
And disregard co-incedence.
Like Sisyphus in the snow.
I left my smile on a train going
all the way to hel
I'm covered in snow and it's getting cold
And I'm lost in Lake City growing old,
The Ice wall's stab at the snow
And blood is forming
On the badgers nose.
And my hearts still
broken and confused and
I still don't know,
if she loves me,
So I toss a coin?
And disregard co-incidence..
As the sunset's blood glows
on the badgers nose..
So I'm back on the train to Hell
Looking for my smile
That she once loved so well.
Now she is lost in Lake City
And Covered in snow,
Getting cold and growing old.
So Toss a Coin
And disregard co-incidence.
And she is lost in Lake City
Getting cold and growing old.
So Toss a Coin
And disregard co-incidence.
Now I'm still on that train looking for
my smile I lost, long ago,
going all the way to hell...
