All The Time In The World
now,
i have got all the time in the world
so, i will keep writing about you
till hopefully, i will forget
i did not want to learn
i have built my world
to protect me from harm
and from all the pain in this world
i have learnt once,
and i do not want to be old
you screw me up
but you have showed me –
the need the realism
and at the same time it has –
let me out and pushed me back into prison
James Garratt – 1994
