Out Of My Book |
| We sat by ourselves, still looking for company; |
| There could have been peace, but that eluded me All I could think of was what was on your mind. |
| You tried to be kind, |
| But I blocked your feelings. |
| Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room |
| And cry. |
| You tried to make me one, |
| But I always hide when there’s a glimpse of sun. |
| Running along in sunlight meadows |
| Your eyes were never more than half-closed: |
| Through fluttering lashes, you watched me watching you. |
| I tried to be true |
| To the way that you thought I ought to be But, in spite of all my efforts, |
| I failed. |
| I tried to make you see |
| But your eyes were blind to all but the bad in me. |
| What do you think I mean |
| When I say that I need you? |
| How am I supposed to seem |
| When we hit another problem and the answers |
| are all torn from my book? |
| Our lives are on paths we just can’t control; |
| We can grow closer as we get old… |
| Can you imagine us as we adjust? |
| Can you imagine us Getting near eighty; |
| We live more sedately, still hoping the dream will |
| Come true? |
| We’ll try to be secure… |
| But I’m of uncertain mind |
| and how can I be sure? |
| how can I be sure? |
| how can I be sure? |
