How did I not notice this
this lazy afternoon?
When did I become remiss
and miss this lovely tune?
Should have seen the shining light
the healing streaming from your eyes
have heard your song that makes
all wrong things right
I’ve seen burning cities fall
heard the poets, read them all
but never have I been so thrown as this
Exploding stars, gold bullion bars
Or galaxies of maladies
nothing should have made me blow this kiss
Tell me where to find you then
and how and why and also when
as I’m too dim to use my eyes to see
Shake this sorry, poor excuse
for living, poke this lost refuse
of nothing there is nothing left to lose
Ears closed cannot hear the call
of clarions defy them all
the merciless, the hard and bad at heart
the mean, the low, the bully and
the soulless monsters at your hand
are left to find a brand new start
I’ve seen burning cities fall
heard the poets, read them all
but never have I been so thrown as this
Exploding stars, gold bullion bars
Or galaxies of maladies
nothing should have made me blow this kiss
Come back to me, miss.
