A Prayer
Lord, I have enough imagination
to last me many lifetimes
fill me instead with your love
so that by a change in me
Lord, I have enough imagination
to last me many lifetimes
fill me instead with your love
so that by a change in me
so that's it then
she'll go her way
and I'll go mine
her coffee still warm
I've no wish to reminisce
on roads I walked before we kissed
my middle name was loneliness
but my oh my that kiss was bliss
my money comes my money goes
round and round the clock we go
but things have shifted in my manner
frustrations don't upset my candour
forgiveness of sins
is the most important thing
in the world
I know
it's all in rhythm now
first memories to latest footsteps
journeys not yet taken
began long ago
doubtless with the right intentions
things turn out alright
for the most part
but how much do we hang our hats
you skelter past the shelter
where I sleep with rights denied
I know that you are stuck like glue
to strolling sunny sides
there is no right way
when you are down and out
take this the right way
don't take a highway
so here I go again
singing the same old tune
no closer to the moon
feeling I have spoken
