John Keyes

Go to sleep and good night
Coz when the angels are sleepin
You don’t wanna be the one
Left awake and peepin
With one eye open on the horrors of the night
The other one waiting for some dreamy delight.

What’s rare is wonderful
Does not mean what’s plentiful is terrible
Embrace the seemingly mundane
Don’t limit the chase to unicorns.

While showering I’ve thoughts
A mess, a no-man’s land
Some fingers cross, others pray
The result will be the same
A smile is good, some hope
There’s always hope,
Or wishful thinking
A glimmer
A spark

What will be will be
No room for doubt you’ll see
It could be too late
I don’t believe in fate.

I saw her waiting at the bus stop
No smoke but she was smoking thrills
She didn’t spot me in the shadows
I was frozen simply standing still

When will she
Even notice me
It’s no good to my soul
To be left here ignored

She’s in the corner drinking cocktails
Looks like she can’t get her fill
She didn’t see me in the window
My bones frozen from the snowy chill

When will she
Even notice me
It’s no good to my soul
To be left here ignored
