Whoops! I think I lost...

I was looking everywhere
Under the carpet
Under the stairs
But nowhere could i find
I seem to have lost
what once was mine
I circled the TV
the dining chairs
The funny bath fittings
the garden chairs
All the street
and down the way
In the car
and the pile of hay
Over the bridge
under the dyke
Looking on foot
and on my bike
I asked the policeman
I asked the postman
The lollypop lady
And the Searching fan
In looked in the new world
And i looked in the old
I looked in the warm
I looked in the cold
Still nowhere could I find
Whoops I think I lost my Mind

Have YOU seen it

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Sure! It diluted well
to ink, it swelled,
found in pen well,
now who could tell?
I took the pen
shook it, then,
transferred thought
and back to you brought

your mind.

Welcome home!

Nope, ain't seen it, but hey, thanks for the smile

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
