Me

I've already told you

How my mother died young

My father was absent

From his 8 year old son

His parents were mine

Let's proceed without lies

Trade all the distractions

For a small glimpse of time

Always sheltered

& clothed as a child alone

I turned up the music

To fill up my soul

I have a story to tell you all

After this chorus

I'll give you some more

The sane & insane mixed

With pleasure & pain

Cold & the distant

It's all from my brain

There once was a time

When I stole from my Nan

But I earned back respect

As I worked out a plan

Spent years in a flat

With like minded friends

Faced fears with courage

Changed the goal for the end

Worked hard each moment

Of the everyday grind

Kind & quite caring

Taking praise in my stride

I have a story to tell you all

After this chorus

I'll give you some more

The sane & insane mixed

With pleasure & pain

Cold & the distant

It's all from my brain

So my karma's been paid

& I'm proud of my wife

My continuing strength

Love & support for all time

I don't want any problems

But I won't let things go

So just keep me on side

& i'll go with the flow

Bust mostly i'm happy

& I love a blue sky

Silence is golden

I have a story to tell you all

After this chorus

I'll give you some more

The sane & insane mixed

With pleasure & pain

Cold & the distant

It's all from my brain
