Today I met an old man
he said to me
Hi my name is AL Symers
Hi I said my name is P@ul
and forget yours
so I will call you old man
yes he said
my name is Paul.

Can you hear the clock 'a ticking
won't you come to the meadow soon
lay my dead bones 'a dancing
to stare up at the moon

will you come down to see me
when my bones are in the grave
I ask cause you haven't been here lately
and I'd like to see your face

the flowers 'neath my head have changed to brown
and the nearby trees are quite aged
you never took the time to come around
to bid me farewell at my grave

the clock has long since stopped ticking
and the meadow has faded into ruin
my bones have forever ceased their dancing
eyes darkened by the moon

*please come and see me soon

kiss me in the middle of the crossroads
like you're the devil
and i'm a sinner not worth saving

Don't waste a feeling
when it's all you've got.

Words
Have
So much power
You should need
A license
To use them
