Week 46 - The Wreckage
walking through the lane
taking shakey pictures
of the city streets
and towering trees
Copper into silver
silver into gold
our wanderlust
has led me to my knees
you couldn’t answer yes
I watched you nod your head
and you looked so confused
a bit amused
the beginning of the end
was started there that day
but how could I know
what could I do or say
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me
All the lovers say
they couldn’t get much closer
to the one they love
I know it’s true
Cause who but you could ever
answer my old letters
with a numbered guide
of the ways I’ve let you down
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me
I couldn’t let you
think you’d won the war
I couldn’t let you
walk away with more
I didn’t think you
would set your sights on me
or that you would
go and drop the bomb on me
just the other day
someone asked me if I’d
ever called you up
I could not say
there’s nothing I can do
my hands are tied and now it seems
your mind’s made up
Your words they linger on
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me
