Robert Lamb 5-5 #2 - Caught

Sometime in the last century
In a summer, in the sun
A younger me leans against a wall
Dreaming of someone

A glimmer of a memory
A shimmer in the heat
Refracted through the haze
That wavers, rising from the street

Our moments here are fleeting
One blink and then they’re gone
Questions they are many
Answers are there  none

Candy coated convertibles
Parked down by the shore 
Buckets of bravado
Ooze from every pore 

Our moments here are fleeting…

We drive along the rocky road that leads from here to there
We change our gears and spin our wheels but still we get nowhere

A shift in my perspective
A life lived through a glass
Gliding by quite silently
Shapes devoid of mass

Our moments here are fleeting…

Robert Lamb 5-5 #1 - Moments

Look down your arm to where it ends
You’ll find us there, your handy friends
Honed by evolution to help you succeed
Satisfaction guaranteed

We’re your hands

Our mission in life is to get your stuff done 
We can help you to make music and have other types of fun
Now mister left is on your fretboard
Pressing on each string
Mister right is strumming
As you try to sing

You keep us at arms length while we do your dirty deeds
Like washing up the dishes and rooting out the weeds

We’re your hands

By now you get the feeling we can do so much
Whatever we do, we’re always in touch
Fingers and palms
With the help of a wrist
Tell us when to fold or twist

We’re your hands

Robert Lamb 5-5 #3 - Hands

I woke up with a head that felt like thunder
I was thirsty so I made a cup of tea
You could say I was feeling delicate
I was feeling oh so woe-is-me

A little ray of light crept through the shutters
As I tried to gather up my wits
Could I decipher the secret?
Or would I have to call it quits?


Maybe the problem is of my making
Maybe the answer’s in my reach

So I had a shave and shower
And, to keep this story brief
Put on my jeans and linen jacket
Resolved to turn a brand new leaf

Went out to turn a brand new leaf

Robert Lamb 5-5 #4 - Brand New Leaf

However much you want to stay
In the world of yesterday
You can’t live in the past
Time moves on too fast
You think you don’t belong
The world you loved is gone
But you can’t stay in

Yesterday
You can’t stay in yesterday
Yesterday
You can’t stay in yesterday
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello today

However much you want to stay
In your happy reverie
Consoled by memories
Of being young and free
I know that you’re sure
You were better off before but
You can’t stay in
  
Yesterday
You can’t stay in yesterday
Yesterday
You can’t stay in yesterday
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hello today
