I might have seen there are a dozen ways
Perceptible when near the edge we lie
We take some steps but we don’t have to stay
What if we don’t have the words to say
We have to go or hearts will surely die
I wish I’d seen there is another way
Of our life, how many are the days
Few or less with a loved girl or guy
We take some steps but we don’t have to stay
The highest form of art is the surprise
The truth is hinted at by many lies
Could I have seen there is another way?
I was startled when I heard love’s prayers
The ones who speak don’t need to advertise
We take some steps but we don’t have to stay
I might have seen there are a dozen ways
Perceptible when near the edge we lie
We take some steps but we don’t have to stay
Every moment now a baby dies
We gawp in windows with our yellow eyes
We might have seen there are more caring ways
The anguished start but why will noone stay?
