So as I start a new life
I leave you alone
All the pain, the strife
Left when I came home

Your heart may break
But that’s in your hands
there’s no more I can take
I can’t be your man

My heart was true
But your’s a lie
So whatever you do
You’re not in my life

So flee to him
Hide away in his arms
Or go to them
Your friends “they are”

no tears shed…
my eyes are dry
as I lay in y bed
you’re not on my mind

so leave it be
you’re not right for me
I regretfully free
My new nothing…
There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth--
I think that perhaps it's the gin.
The dinner was made, but something was wrong,
She tried to eat something, appetite, gone,
The view from the kitchen was a sky black and grey,
She got under the table to get out of the way.

Even moms home made cooking couldn't beckon her out,
For she knew fine and well, that a storm was about,
Such a crash, then a light filled the kitchen completely,
Then a hug from two arms,"Daddy please dont you leave me".

As her body was lifted to a warm loving place,
Daddy wiped away tears from her four year old face,
Then it seemed as though nothing could hurt her somehow,
Not the storm, not the flash, not the terrible howl.
As the storm grifted by, daddy hushed her to sleep,
Snuggles up with his baby,safe and warm for to keep.
Don't ask me
To share your burden.
I'm weary,
And I cannot carry more.

An open ear
And a soft heart
Can gather quite a load,
And I am tired
Of carrying so much.

Don't ask me
To share your burden.

I have my own to bear.
Senescence begins
And middle age ends
The day your descendents
Outnumber your friends.

— The End —
