Perpetuate

By DefinitiveFreak

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Here am I sitting here trying to write a song But everything that I write down always turns out wrong Where are you, in the clouds escaping from my grasp? I try to run, I try to hide, but I am just not fast Enough to run away to be free from pain And the pouring rain And all the things I say Everything I've said and the places I've been And the things I've seen Have all gone straight to my head When can we disappear off into the sunset? With no cares and no woes And nothing to regret Where was I when you were gone from my past? And where were you when I was there Trying to be fast Enough to run away to be free from pain And the pouring rain And all the things I say Everything I've said and the places I've been And the things I've seen Have all gone straight to my head There was I sitting there trying to write a song It went quite well I think it'll sell Or maybe I'm just wrongThis is the first song I ever wrote. The dictionary definition of the title is - to not allow to be forgotten. © on Oct 24 2001 11:32 AM PST, Laura Rose Knowles   lyrics • love
