Every night,
I'm awake by midnight
trying to stop the world
that's turned to plastic

and looking at you,
I wonder-
is it too late?

Bring me back by daybreak-

To oppose the narrowing
of eye willfully blind
seems futile in light
of betrayals now cast

and looking at you,
I wonder-
was it all in vain?

I won't take the blame-
no one told you to change

But you can still go back,
take me with you...

And looking at you,
I wonder-
is it too late for me?

(we gave it another try..ok Duncan helped a lot Hes..pretty good- for a porch puppy )

Excellent for not only a porch puppy,
but the wind that blew this in...

"again".  Yes, duet again, please!
