It Says Here

Beyond my own expenses

Lies the land of milk and honey

Outside my defenses I am afraid

Where life is like a circus

Full of scares and thrills and worry

But you know it's all within

To earn your money

And back again to all those cares

A million hours bedtime stares

The latest horrors put to sleep

Goodnight to say is overdue

If only the partner

Would be just like a blanket

To keep me warm in winter and in love

I know the day is coming

For the sun to shine again

When it does you'll find me running for the pen

So here's the answer to your prayer

Can you be happy without fear?

Before I move this island

I will dig up all my treasure

And leave it for you freely without measure

Because the gift of music

Is greater than the pleasure

In finding golden pennies or so it says here

And back again to all those cares

A million hours bedtime stares

The latest horrors put to sleep

Goodnight to say is overdue
