Shell Game |
How many times in the lonely night |
Someone you’d like to know passed you by |
With heartfelt words a chance to speak |
But two ladies down the street |
Cast off that shell |
Don’t resist the unknown |
Your understandin' is open-handed |
Hold it closed and you’re alone |
Shame ourselves with petty games |
Bill folds swells with tight remains |
To find a road that leads someplace |
When we fasten it everyday |
Cast off that shell… |
To stand naked for the sun |
Well that’s the ends of everyone |
To be old is to be free |
To enclosed as a channel be |
Cast off that shell… |
So don’t you wait until you’re stranded |
Ask somebody to throw a hand in |
Just a ditty in ¾ patterns |
Shackle games in high form matter |
Cast off that shell… |
