You have the potential
Be the one who inspires
Just put in the extra effort
Continue to reach higher
It is all up to you
Have a can do attitude
Promote the positive
Along with lots of gratitude

I was sad  so sad
To see you go
Sad to hear
That whistle blow

I saw you sadly to the train
Knowing I'd never see you again

Another Lost love
Another Lost love
No farewell kiss
No tender hug
Just a heart of pain
And a waiting train

Lost Love Lost Love
Love Lost Lost Love

We hadn't long together
We changed just like the weather

As your train speeds away
There's nothing more to say

Another Lost love
Another Lost love
No farewell kiss
No tender hug
Just a heart of pain
And a waiting train

Oh little me, go cry, go blow your nose
Where only teddy knows and God.
And don't cry forever
Forever is eternity,
And eternity is never.
Go, go, go.
Run, run, run.
Just to stay where you are.
And little, little, little,
Don't forget your Kleenex.
Teddy bear will drown.

I am a language
I don't quite understand
So please be patient with me
And learn me
As I am learning myself

Sharp stalactites of time
ache inside the knuckles,
in all my joints
And under the husk.

I possess just a few memories
that I've stretched in my mind
To meet the eternity of time
but they're never enough.

I'm in a car
heading somewhere
terribly oldfashioned
with dim yellow light
and don't know why.

I close my eyes
and feel the wheel
trembling in my hands

I am wind
between the furrows of the land,
the dust that sticks to the mantel
with that old picture of dad.

Sharp stalactites of time
coming out of the fingertips
and out the end of my tongue.

I'm in a car
And I don't know how to drive.
