You've kept
your cool in _______ (7) lands
When conversation turned to God
You've managed a touch of ________ (8)
For the worn down unkempt sods
You've _____ (5) from flagons in the park
And you found it quite a lark
When the old man turned and told you
He would never take a plane
To the ____________ (12) across the sea
That you flew to with your ____ (4)
And the spirit then was lurking
Like a misfit in your brain
a misfit in your brain
a misfit in your brain.
You've sat
out on the beach at night
And were asked about Jesus Christ
And you found that you _______ it (7)
Like the tropics it warmed your _____ (5)
The night wind formed your words
In a way that you found ____ (4)
But the sunlight left you questioning
Unsure of where you stood
It was all too bright and daunting
Or was it fear of being too good
fear of being too good
fear of being too good?
You've walked
the paths of history
And you've watched the rivers flow
You've been away for far too long
It doesn't matter where you go
Where's the sense in returning
To those who drove you away?
That takes __________
Or was it fear of being alone
fear of being alone
fear of being alone?
(Copyright Michael Coghlan 1994)
