Forever Falling |
I reorganised the diary |
I had pencilled in a window for us to meet |
Though I knew that you’d be dancing to a different beat |
When you showed up. |
I was ready |
For whatever psychodrama you’d got in store |
Yeah we both knew thaty we’d been through this before. |
Check the time and motion |
Put a stopwatch on the story and don’t look back |
As we lock in to our repetitious act |
You’re the eager beaver, keen to make a mark |
I’m a true believer, whistling in the dark |
Building up the fever |
Over and over we go through the motions |
Hold on the notion one day it might change |
Try not to show it but we’re lost in the moment |
Meanwhile I try to hang on to the ghost of a chance |
Falling through my fingers |
Season by season we seek an agreement |
Beyond rhyme and reason, however estranged |
Meeting and greeting, our time here is fleeting |
Meanwhile we wheel around in an impression of dance |
Falling through our fingers |
It’s all falling through our fingers |
What d’you really want? |
Dare you ever say |
What you really want? |
Watch it slip away… |
And the moral of the story |
If there’s one at all is, surely, to get a grip |
On what’s forever falling through our fingers |
Forever falling through our fingertips |
You’re the eager beaver, keen to make a mark |
I’m a true believer, whistling in the dark |
What a pair of divas! |
What a pair of bright sparks! |
