Gertrude

Walking down a dirty road

I found a book with pages of gold

It read the words I didn't want to hear.

And now two bodies pressed as one

she says not knowing's half the fun

but I knew the truth you didn't want to say.



a lie... a lie... a lie... she told me a lie.



Come back to where you belong

I didn't want you to go

like dying stars, we'll fall into ourselves

and we will all fade away.



I run my fingers through your hair

a strand for every false despair

it's your life so stop being someone else

The morning comes, I squint my eyes

the sun has filled the room with light

and your gone...and your never seen again.
