Oh Yes - Fatherson

I’m sorry I dropped you, I’m sorry I did

Black eyes and blue jeans in the garden

At the edge of Summer

I don’t want to lose ya

But you’re making it hard, so hard

With nothing to cling to

You’re out on your own

Ageless at the bottom of the garden

At the edge of Summer

I don’t want to lose ya

But you’re making me try, so hard

This is a warning

This is a warning

This is a warning

For everyone who feels like

They’re living with their eyes shut

Tripping over eggshells

And trying their best

This is a warning

This is a warning

This is a warning

I watch how the sun moves

When it comes in too close

I sat at the bottom of the garden

At the edge of Summer

I don’t want to lose ya

But you’re making me try, so hard

This is a warning

This is a warning

This is a warning

For everyone who feels like

They’re living with their eyes shut

Tripping over eggshells

And trying their best

This is a warning

This is a warning

This is a warning

[If the sun didn’t set today

Would tomorrow still be yesterday?

I wrote a Hemingway along your spine

It read profanity, Biro pens that I wrote poems with

I swallowed so they’d never tell my secret, sweet and very strange

I was never raised properly just a slob behind a property with a lot to say

For a time that might not be his head

The laughing spot as if I hid

The cold the only thing in the know the villages I filled with

Facts and things in Saturday known in scribbled ink

Provided that they were known to make clearly

I got a good job that might be easier than that other work]

When the Summer is over

We had nothing to show

Black eyes in the garden

For everyone who feels like

They’re living with their eyes shut

Tripping over eggshells

And trying their best

This is a warning

This is a warning

This is a warning

For everyone who feels like

They’re living with their eyes shut

Tripping over eggshells

And trying their best

When the Summer was over

We had nothing to show

Black eyes in the garden

And no where to go
