My final line
The sky is black, the curtains have been closed.
I have lost all the love in the world; so empty; so alone.
The lights are turned out, the heating is off.
It was once so bright and warm here,
But now all that was and all my dreams are lost.
I am without a hope; nothing to see.
Everything gone; broken pieces.
The clock has stopped,
My world no longer spins;
Time is at an end and there will be no more beginning.
I pray for reincarnation, but I am without faith.
The only emotions I had, like my hair, they are all fading to grey.
The roots have cracked,
The branches have snapped,
The leaves have fallen,
The trunk is under attack,
From the cells inside;
No light shines from my eyes.
I can no longer smile, this is my final mile.
At the end of a short race,
I could never keep up with the pace.
My pacemaker heart needs another kick-start.
Hook me up with love;
Do you have her number?
Tell her I am going soon and this is no rumour.
But if she wants to be loved for a moment in time,
Then she should let me know if she wants to be loved,
Before I read my final line…

MORE SO THAN NOT
NEVER, EVERY CERTAIN
IN THESE TIMES
SHOULD I REMIND
YOU OF WHAT I HOLD AS CERTAIN
BREEZES BLOW THE CURTAIN
THE MOOD IS RIGHT FOR LOVE
BABY I KNOW
SEEMS IT'S ALWAYS TIME TO GO
WE NEVER HAVE TIME FOR US
DON'T COMPLICATE THE MATTER
I REFER TO THE LATTER
JUST BE SURE TO MAKE SUMTHYME FOR ME
DOESN'T IT SEEM CRAZY
IT HARDLY EVER FAZES ME
BUT I ADMITT TO BEING MAD
BEFORE IT GET'S CRAZY
COME BY AND LOVE ME
OR TOMMOROOW YOU MIGHT
WISH YOU HAD
SHE SAID I'LL BE RIGHT OVER
TURN THE MUSIC ON
THE RADIO SOUNDS LIKE NOISE
LET'S GET COMFORT AND GOOZEY
I'LL BE YOUR LOVE FLOZZIE
JUST HOOK ME UP WIT SUM
ATTA-BOUIS!
