Don’t count me in
I’m leaving again
Your horses are dragging me down
Like clouded sun rays
You ruin my days
I don’t want to see you around
But the only way out
And away from your pout
Is for me to go back out to sea
Where the air is much fresher
Without you and your pressure
Just horizons that beckon to me
Light the way out of this darkness
That cradles me in its arms
Break the binding chains that hold me
Stifling me and causing harm
Help me reach just high enough
To catch an angel’s eye
And lift me from this misery
That has become my life
The clouds on the horizon
They never do get near
A fleeting star shoots through the night
Out into the clear
Just beyond my reach again
Just beyond my heart
Maybe on the morrow
I can find a brand new start
If home is where the heart is
It’s where I want to be
Casting doubts and broken promises
Always a part of me
But I’ll keep on dreaming, yes
It’s what I always do
For one day on that horizon
I know that I’ll find you
When a broken heart
Can’t find the words
Who’ll be there to help it through
When depression strikes
And sucks you down
It seems there’s nothing you can do
Seasons come
And seasons go
You will find them in the past
So, hold on tight
And ride the ride
Until you’re whole again at last
I discovered hope!
Then, I didn’t know what to do with it!
Little old Fiddlebrock Simpsonstien
Wondered the streets alone
He was a simple and quiet old man
His features like toppling stone
No one could understand him
When words did escape his lips
While some would laugh and tilt their heads
Others laid hands on hips
With head hung low like the setting sun
Fiddlebrock heads for home
An appliance box with newspaper floor
Keeps him warm from the fresh falling snow
Read forwards, then backwards…
Hated, not loved, am I
Sad, not happy, am I
Broken, not whole, am I
Lost, not found, am I
Ugly, not pretty, am I
Read forwards, then backwards…
