Second take

*Just something i've always pondered over through my life...


If I could lie and dream forever,
would I know of owt but pleasure ?
If I could dream through night and day,
would there be a price to pay ?
If I could live but not live life,
then I could live life without strife !
If I could be the only one,
to wash away what has been done ...

If I could get a second chance,
then I would take it at a glance,
and I would learn through my mistakes,
I'd get it right on the second take.

Time

Time
withers by
and I
never thought about it before
but hes asking questions
I cant ignore

What should I do
Should I lie
I always knew
There'd come this time

That child
has no sense of feeling
and you lost
his love
but I,
I heard his tiny cries

What should I do
Should I lie
I always knew
There'd come this time

That I
Id have to tell him
Who you really are
and what hes lost
and what hes gained

*written sometime in 2005 I think, after some slightly shocking news
