TWO QUARTERS

TWO QUARTERS

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

JANUARY 2020 

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING

NOTHING HAD CHANGED

ITS ALL THE SAME

I'LL TRY NOT TO BLAME

BUT ITS A SHAME

GIVE ME SOMETHING

I CAN GO ON

SOMETHING TO USE

IF I CHOOSE

WHERE'S THE WIND

AT MY BACK

PUSH MY REASONS

HELP MY CAUSE

GIVE ME A LITTLE

OR GIVE ME A LOT

I CAN'T GO ON

WITH WHAT I'VE GOT

 NOTHING FOR TOO LONG

STUCK HERE LOSING TIME 

LOSING FACE

SLIPPING FROM

THE ARMS OF GRACE

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

 I CAN'T FIND

I SHOULD LOOK

TO THE SKY

MAYBE ITS THERE

I'LL FIND IT

SOMETHING TO BEND IT

TIL IT BREAKS

I'D LIKE TO GO

BUT I'M FAR FROM FREE

THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME

IS CLOSED

WATCHING THE MORNING RAIN

WONDERING IF THINGS

WILL EVER BE

MORE THAN THIS

I DON'T WANT TO SAY

ITS NOT FAIR

BUT ITS ITS NOT FAIR

YES I KNOW, ONE MORE DAY

ONLY YOU WOULD

THINK THAT'S OKAY

THE PAIN WILL GO AWAY

I ROLL MY EYES

AND LOOK UP TO THE SKY

IF I ASK YOU

WOULD YOU TELL ME WHY

DID I IMAGINE ALL THESE DREAMS

FOR NOTHING

I DON'T REMEMBER

SELLING MY SOUL TO YOU

I WOULDN'T, I NEVER DID

STUCK HERE LOSING TIME

I'LL NEVER GET IT BACK

EMPTY SPACES

ILL WINDS BLOW

THERE'S NOWHERE

I CAN GO

ISN'T IT DARKEST

BEFORE THE DAWN

DON'T KEEP ME WAITING

TELL ME

HOW LONG
