Slender Threads |
| I saw your picture in the Evening Standard |
| You were wearing your battle dress |
| I really must confess |
| That I shed a silent smile for you-- |
| It had really blown my mind |
| I wonder, are you still so kind? |
| Are you still so pure? |
| There are other rhymes around here somewhere |
| But I’m not too sure how they fit… |
| Jenny, penny for your thoughts |
| I wonder how you’re thinking now; |
| I hesitate to visualise; |
| Our worlds are much too different |
| That’s a sign of the times |
| Time was when I read your cards |
| And wrote the numbers in the dust; |
| I can’t remember what they were but, anyhow |
| I missed the cusp |
| So, so long, and so, goodbye |
| Do you think I’d recognise you by your hair or by your mind now? |
| We start out together |
| But the paths all divide; |
| When there are no more crossroads |
| I open my eyes |
| And find I’m walking on alone |
| Through the snowy cold… |
| I wonder if I’ll make it through the night? |
| I’m an author and an actor too; |
| You’re a model in the zoo… |
| I’m just thinking on which side of the bars |
| I’m looking through |
| If I prophesied an avalanche |
| Would you wait and call my bluff? |
| If I gave you just a little song |
| Would that be enough |
| To save your life |
| Or is the knife already turning in my hand? |
