Yesterday I thought you'd stay. I thought you'd see things my way. But now I see my hope's maybe dead. I should have known when you said. I was the one that you wanted.
The clock is ticking on the table in my room. Funny how the time just slips away. An ordinary simple man. Who's lost a little piece of something. Hold my breath and close my eyes.
When the half light makes for a clearer view. Sleep a little more if you want to. But restlessness has siezed me now, it's true. I could watch the dreams flicker in your eyes.
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden. You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon. I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border.

Another holiday. From all the vampires. And all the sycophants. Caught on the high wire. . So sexy, sexy babe. You know I need some. To pass the time away.
How did I think it would be. Maybe like a TV show. Half hour episodes that solve everything. And make you absolutely happy. Absolutely happy. . Now I've made you cry.
