I haven’t seen you in a while
It’s been a long time since you left
And every conversation we’ve had’s
Been brief,
But I believe
We can
Be something
And now,
I see you with somebody else
How typical of me to write about
But somehow I just have to get it out
Meanwhile I dance to the
Trance of the drum beat
No, you never put me in arms
But we can be
Tied to each other
I’m here if you need me
And every little word I haven’t said
Stays stagnant in my head
As I contemplate the end of something more
Let’s be honest here:
If I were to disappear,
By some strange means of
Universe and spoken words
I’m glad you’ll never hear,
I bet you would not even notice!
No disrespect, no kiss
Upon the lips of something
New that isn’t this
Dance — to the
Trance of the drum beat
No, you never put me in arms
But we can be
Tied to each other
I’m here if you need me
And every little word I haven’t said
Stays stagnant in my head
As I contemplate the end of something more
I haven’t seen you in a while
I’ve been busy as I —
Dance — to the
Trance of the drum beat
No, you never put me in arms
But we can be
Tied to each other
I’m here if you need me
