Never Never Girl
Sometimes you feel like you are on the edge of a situation,
and you know you are going to fall off.
You understand there is not a thing you can do about it;
yet, you remain static all over, feeling so excited.
You are on such a high,
and the troubles of the world are much easier to bear,
for you are on cloud nine, walking on air.
You cannot wait to see her there,
to see her hair.
Here I am on the cliffs of reality,
a weak and hungry man,
needing someone to shield me
from life’s tragedies,
longing for someone to please.
James Garratt – January 1993
