COMING AND GOING
COMING AND GOING
(T. Beechey)
People come and people go,like people often do
Where are they from? I don't know,maybe from Timbuktu?
I never asked,they never told,it wasn't my concern
I only basked within their gold being careful not to burn
People come and people go,like people often do
I've known some and I've come to grow fond of quite a few
We've shared and talked and socialized,all our hopes and dreams
And I'm becoming aware of the size of all their many schemes
Answer my plea,right my wrongs,dance for me all night long
Live what you taught,lend an ear,give what you got or end up here
Send me a sign,find me a way,throw me a line,mind if I stay?
Give me a call,send me a prayer,live for it all or end up there
Some came to play,others to learn and some just hung around
Some wanted to stay,but had to turn,never again to be found
Some desired and never came --- perhaps they will next year
Others inspired and made a name that shines out crystal clear
Where are they now? Are they still here? I'd like it if they were
Did they vow to reappear without too much of a stir?
Sometime soon or maybe not,I honestly have no clue
From their coccoon or from their plot...alas,such a limited view!
Seek out the truth,it's a test of wills,peak at your youth,the rest's downhill
"Enjoy the ride," like a friend said,"boy,keep your pride or end up dead"
Slow down the pace,stand against crime,know your place,hand in your time
Boy,now's your chance! Spend it and thrive,enjoy and enhance or end up alive
