That Song Ii

Nobody swims in that cold water anymore The leaves that fell from the trees now float on the water People drink their beers I drink my can of diet cola And that suits me just fine. When you throw a party, everybody is there But when you need them, , they are no where to be found -That is the whole truth. Another day is almost over The silence is my only companion right now The sun will blind me tomorrow The moon will take my breath away when it shines At night. Horoscopes will be read by people But I keep my life as simple as possible. Cars will travel for miles and miles on the highway I get the picture Man travelled to the moon Lonesome animals travel inside trucks for hours, without drinking Any water All the way to the slaughter house The vegetarians won't eat them I eat them for survival And am lonesome too. I am not short of words All of the words from my mind are typed into this computer I song I write That saves me That song is mine And mine alone. Tomorrow the Russian pianist will play his piano again The flowers will need watering In a dark room I sleep with my CPAP machine on My mind drifts away..... Today I am wearing my red shirt once again With my blue jeans I no longer travel by car to the country Lights are turned on in the living room Making the room brighter All my food is kept in the fridge The dining room table is filled with papers The radio is turned off once again The drawers of my desk are wide open I don't go after fortune tellers And I let life be I don't gamble with my money I don't know who will cross my path tomorrow Nobody sits in the living room couch anymore My foot does the walk My mouth does the talking The recycle bin is now empty So many trees saved.... My shoes walk so many miles everyday I am lucky in so many ways Because I have a home to live And there are so many people that don't have a home So many places I have visited And the memories of the places that I have visited, lives on The clock at the old city hall chimes The streetcars are moving along in the tracks And the Starbucks are full of customers that come into buy a cup of coffee My green winter coat is hanging on the back of my office chair The phone rang once today.
