Thursdays Child

Where are we?

First and last, bound together in our past

Much too cruel, much too fast

Much too quick to anger

I suppose, years ago, years ago

I might have known

I suppose

Years ago

Traps laid bare in my face

Said to keep me in my place

Waved goodbye to the child

and life it seems is colder

I suppose

Yes but what are you saying?

(please leave my mind intact)

Yes but what do you mean?

(as I slowly grow older)

Where are we each and all?

Creatures run and creatures crawl

Where are we each and all?

Spinning here, on this ball

Creatures run and creatures crawl

I suppose years ago,

I might have known

As I slowly grow older
