Need More Time
i need more time.
it is going to be hard,
but i will find the light.
i have lost everything i can,
but just take a walk with me
and try to understand.
i have been listening to my own head,
walking through the cemetery.
i can see it is all dead;
it is all change for me.
i am straining to see.
got to get away,
because i have to pack for tomorrow
and unload today.
i need more time
before i fall away
into a deep chasm.
this life stuff is so taxing.
i wonder if it is so fine;
something lacking.
i need more time.
James Garratt – Sunday 8th October 1995
