What a Shame

The bluest morning ever
Broke today
Forego the nighttime
Find the moon
In the afternoon
Cry
All day
One is forgiven
Much too soon

Another year has come
And gone my way
My blood is thicker
Showing signs
Of pathology
Fast on the track
To decay
Remorse as company
Here to stay

I need you
I lost you
What a shame

The smoky faces lost
In this café
Their lips forever chat
A grey uniformity
Cry
All day
Amazing lethargy
Here to stay

I need you
I lost you
What a shame

No sunrise
No coffee
What a shame
No seaside
No poets, no backbeat
No lover, no mother
No mainline, no downtime
What a shame
