Life, why do you
wander?
Life, why do you sigh?
Come rest-a-while,
For the only thing
you do is try!
The warm sun on my
back,
How I wish you were
here!
The pain of not being
with you,
Life, it’s just not
fair!
The gingerbread man
is broken,
Life, you never gave
him a chance.
With a broken leg and
a cuppa,
Look at him dance,
look at him dance!
Where are you my love?
Where did you go
away?
Stay with me for while,
Stay till the words
have their sway.
I wander around,
quiet and calm,
There’s a storm
brewing inside.
Life why do you
smile?
I took everything in
my stride.
Where do the sparrows
go?
Where do the songbirds
lie?
They never had a
chance I feel,
Once concrete hearts
willed them to die.
Songs and birds and mahogany
stools,
The steel breathes
fire every day.
Help me my love, my
life.
I can no longer find
my way.
The song and laughter
is all I have,
Will you steal them from
me?
All I want from life
it seems,
A chance to love
free.
It fades, it fades,
it fades.
Memories come and go
at will.
I wait and look at
the setting sun,
My chin resting on
the windowsill.
