Playing With a Mystic – Written Friday 7th March 1997 (Aged 22)

Playing With a Mystic

playing with a mystic
does not seem so simplistic
or so endlessly fantastic
trying to catch a mystic
is endlessly tiring
you could have come and found me
but we all let things go
such is the nature of life
most of those things
are things we love
playing with a mystic
will make you lose touch
and is far more complicated
than the night that feels rough
playing with a mystic
is like a magic mage
or a cloak and gown affair
i can see you
just over there
what are you going to do
do you really care
playing with a mystic
is like being with me
it is not so simplistic
and it is further than the sea
