about

A ballad, about life beyond perfidy

lyrics

Your life is like a telescope
Wrong way round, vanishing hope
Tender trust, turned to dust
You fell among a band of schemers
They cast you out, you gentle dreamer
From the fold, into the cold

One day you'll find satisfaction
Empty feeling's just a stage
You deserve part of the action
Whatever you've done, whatever your age

Life's a trip of joy and sorrow
Too many dreams about tomorrow
You will search, but will you find?
One man's life so full of promise
Wrecked by another man's casual malice
What's the cost of being kind?

Instrumental break

Keep on seeking satisfaction
It's a thing we're bound to do
We deserve part of the action
Especially me, and especially you

So here's to life in all its wonder
Children's laughter, rolling thunder
Deep blue skies, your green eyes

Yes here's to life in all its magic
Thrills and spills, sometimes tragic
It's unique
And so are you.

These are a few minor efforts of my own ... more
