Hapless wondering eyes Peer silently through a frosted window Glances dance from tinsilated trees To exotic colors that wrap hidden treasures There, on the inside The piercing pain in the fingers and toes Has begun to fade to a familiar numbness The ever-shrinking stomach Sings its sorrow filled song Here on the outside Careless Children dance cheerfully Around an overflowing table Ignorant of their own fortune Spoiled without challenge There, on the inside Hopeless hours of waiting For darkness to abide For illusions of warmth The morning sun brings Here on the outside The comfort of touch The Bliss of a kiss The safety she feels With him at her side There, on the inside Solace is found Somewhere near the end of a bottle It is easier to pretend not to care Loneliness, the curse of many a man Here on the outside Music is the language God used to create the Universe |
