In the morning
as the daylight
rears its head
Dreams retreating
leaving taste
and inference
When you wake up
it’s all just the blurring
When you wake up
it’s all just the call
You feel sure this rectangle
has 4 sides
That is where you’re
going wrong
Later you’re numb
as the day passes
you by
Cold conforming
slave to their what
when and why
When you look up
day is nearly over
When you look up
it’s all come to nil
You’ve made sure their rectangle
has 4 sides
All the time you’ve
missed the point
As this life is dimming
look at all you’ve
never done
Where are the things
that you wanted
that you won
When you look back
struck with all the wonder
When you look back
filled with the remorse
This rectangle, it never had
but 4 sides
You took this long
to get that right
Rectangle is a new song I’m working on
(and, of course, it’s in 5/4)
and these are the latest lyrics
(you can thank dream Michael Stipe for the inspiration – but that’s a story for another time)
As always, leave me a prompt and I’ll write you a little something 🙂
