GIVE IT FREELY

So we sit

and

then we lay

and love and laugh

just one more day

just one more day

I start to pray

that we will come closer

to what we used to have

you see

I know

and

I can see

that it may quite possibly

not be me

that

you choose forever

when these feelings

I can't shake never

although you are just

upstairs right this very minute

layin' in my bed

I mean

in it

and still

I am not so sure

if I am imagining this

this could just be a really bad trip

but

you know I don't do

drugs

I'm just a hard core

LOVE THUG

cuz' it seems like I'll

do just about anything

to get it

to keep it

to feel it

I just don't want to have to

steal it

so

if you cannot give of it

freely

then

I guess it does not have to

be me

who wins in the end

I've run a great race

you can get up and leave

but love will find it's way

somehow, someday

back

to my place.
