Gone

Lazy Daze


                   I'll Be Your Fool


    In  quiet corners of my mind
   I look for truth I'm yet to find
   That day when  you walked away
    You left behind an  empty gray

    With every year, the questions grow
    Answers fade like melting snow
    In love and life, I'm lost again
     The more I seek, the less I win

     And, as time ..... flows
    What I don't know ...shows
    I'd be a fool  don't you know what I dream
    It's your name ...I call
    It's a  game .....we play
    I'm a  fool after fool evermore

   Windows in the evening light                                         
   Reflections of my youth                            
  Thought I knew my path in life                          
   But these footsteps lead to the truth

    Over time I start to see
   The truth hiding underneath
   People come but they will go
   Marking time untill they know

    And, as time ..... flows
    What I don't know ...shows
    I'd be a fool  don't you know what I dream
    It's your name ...I call
    It's a  game .....we play
    I'm a  fool after fool evermore

    The more I live     The less I know
    I'll be your fool      be your fool
    Now and for ever
    Now and for evermore

I'll Be Your Fool

The earth shatters
and drags you down
Nowhere an escape
is to be found
Memories fade and jumble
Crossroads crack and crumble

I am here
if you’re asking
I am here
I am now
Walk away or turn around
But you must know
I am here

Your shame burns through
and scars your mind
All the good things
get left behind
Memories fade and jumble
Crossroads crack and crumble

I am here
if you’re asking
I am here
I am now
Walk away or turn around
But you must know
I am here

I might not be the rainbow
At the end of the storm
But I could be the sunlight
That keeps you warm

I Am Here

Ways Of Forgetting

we never worried much... about borderlines
stepping over them together.. in perfect time
I went along.. helping burn.. every bridge we ever crossed
you'd laugh and say "don't worry about what we've lost"

but I'm sick of tv, old songs, ...of who i've been 
a half finished book next to a fifth of gin     
a sad story or drink won't erase our last goodbye 
old ways of forgetting don't work                   
no matter how i try  

I danced across the strange landscape you painted
but following blind left me jaded
wasting away in your imagined playground
now I've gotta try ‘n turn my life around

but I'm sick of tv, old songs, ...of who i've been
a half finished book next to a fifth of gin     
a sad story or drink won't erase our last goodbye 
old ways of forgetting don't work                   
no matter how i try
