Exit Stage Right

Someone slowly makes a move
Somewhere in the night
A light switch, a lighter
Some razor blade laughter 
Making someone alright

For an hour or maybe two
Any more, you’re getting greedy
Drive her home in the morning
Any more, you’re getting needy
And who’s got time
For that in their life?

The dark bishops dismay
At this bleak array 
Of black pawns hiding
Just out of sight 

Oh I tried and I tried to let them know
But they hear what they want to hear 
And they see what they want to see
And they stare in my general direction 
But see anything but me

I will go gentle into that good light now
I will exit stage right 
Who needs another to believe in
When the lid is shutting tight

Beneath My Feet

The ground crunches beneath my feet
A happy dog
A passing tree
Breezes that do their best
To clear away the filth

I walk and I walk and yet 
Here I am
Always here
Always me

It takes more than a river
To cleanse a heart
That eats from within 

All I want is to be with you 
And so I walk and I walk
Anywhere, nowhere 
Somewhere I can be the me 
You deserve
