Kid has gone off on her own. House is quiet as a mouse.  No more random questions to answer.  

Just a lonely old man.  Sitting in his yard grilling whatever he can.  Just a lonely old man.

Wife’s gone out of town.  Again she loves to shop. Earbuds in her ears.  The beat goes on.  

Just a lonely old man.  Sitting in his yard grilling whatever he can.  Just a lonely old man.

Friends have all disappeared.  Neighbors won’t even come out and talk. Close their doors and their drapes. Pretend they aren’t home.

Just a lonely old man.  Sitting in his yard grilling whatever he can.  Just a lonely old man.

Who would even notice.  He he weren’t there.  Wanted to help others.  Stuck in a dead end job.  Till one day he just gave up.

Just a lonely old man.  Sitting in his yard grilling whatever he can.  Just a lonely old man.

I look out from yard.  Always said hello. He never answered me.  Must have been deaf.  Now he is gone.

Just a lonely old man.  Sitting in his yard grilling whatever he can.  Just a lonely old man.

Blessed be

So I sing to myself cause no one wants to hear.  I tone down the  emotions cause people are near.  I keep it to myself cause you re all afraid.  No one wants to admit that we are all the same.  

Been through some troubles not afraid to say.  Been a long tough highway. Now I’m going to stay. The worst is over.  The road is clear.  Get out of my way I won’t go a stray.

Some have stayed by my side. Not giving up.  Holding my hand.  Making sure I’m stable. Thank you.  But most got off at the first exit.  I know who you are.  You do to.  Stay out of my way.   You made your choice.  You had your chance so just *******.

We will keep the rewards of my journey.  Been a long hard road.  But now it’s time to say.  Thank you to those who have been great.  Thank you to those who have not.
