Looks like tomorrow will be
Another day of loneliness for me,
We've danced the night till dim
But my darling I'm not him,
And life has dragged me along
Into the world of your new song.

So play it the way you must
However I'll not return words of trust,
For you have made it clear
That you'd rather have him here,
And I am just a tag-a-long
Fixed in the world of your new song.

What do you say to a man
Who has lost his heart
Because his dream of life
Was so torn apart.

What do you say to the flowers
Whose petals and odor so sweet
Left a man begging love
At her feet.

What do you say to the world
Where love and peace are so void
Of any connection with religion.

What do you say to the political king
Who rules with the mighty button
And dreams of everyone knowing
Who is Boss.

Well, I probably say zilch
And go my walkabout way,
Waiting until the day I will
Mark an x within a circle
And try again.

Today was not the norm,
I thought in ways so adrift
That today would go in
My calendar as an "Igot"

I got today to thank for
A connection with a special friend
I got today as a writer
By choosing words to keep the trend.
