A red bicycle just sits on a wall
_waiting, waiting patiently,_ to be rode
To be out on the road once more;
more or less a reason not to be left out in the cold
Red in a fiery paint; red fury blaze in a colour as bold
_waiting, waiting patiently;_ not on display, being
watched and ignored
It had hopes of being picked out of that store;
to be out in the world with so much in store,
—to be so much more
_Waiting, waiting patiently;_ once as excited as the little girl
that opened him out of that Christmas box;
To be found in awe of a child and their parent's applauds
But alas, as it's winter's pricking thorn,
this red little bike has to wait all winter, pierced by the thought
of knowing he has been left out in the cold

A red bicycle just sits on a wall
_waiting, waiting patiently,_ to be rode
To be out on the road once more;
more or less a reason not to be left out in the cold
Red in a fiery paint; red fury blaze in a colour as bold
_waiting, waiting patiently;_ not on display, being
watched and ignored
It had hopes of being picked out of that store;
to be out in the world with so much in store,
—to be so much more
_Waiting, waiting patiently;_ once as excited as the little girl
that opened him out of that Christmas box;
To be found in awe of a child and their parent's applauds
But alas, as it's winter's pricking thorn,
this red little bike has to wait all winter, pierced by the thought
of knowing he has been left out in the cold
