My Man Lee

Theirs toys and their boys 

And there's coffee for rent 

There's arguments and reasons, your money gets spent 

There's children and pets and bills to keep paid 

There's friends and acquaintances all waiting to be laid 

 

Then the grave yells out loudly 

Spreading fear amongst friends 

And you stand up still proudly 

Awaiting the end 

 

It's not time and you know 

It's not time for you to go 

So, stand up and listen  

to the voice of a friend 

If you really can't hear them  

Please do not pretend  

These are things that they taught you as a child b4 ten 

 

Then the grave yells out loudly 

Spreading fear amongst friends 

And you stand up still proudly  

Awaiting the end 

 

And for “goodbyes”, and the word  

and the meaning that comes 

Perhaps it's for destroying 

Your world of such fun
