Hard Task – Written Wednesday 16th November 1994 (Aged 19)

Hard Task

it’s cold in the rain
and when the sun –
does not shine down
and when i can’t find my shoes
when there is –
nothing really good around
what is new?
is it true?
is it even you?
this is a strange town –
with no one around
there’s a sunny afternoon
but the sun set’s too soon
so i head back home
to a waiting tea
and i will will tell you –
all about the spirits and me
how it begun where i lived –
when i was young
showing that i loved the past
but as much as i clawed
the good times do not last
and it’s true, i got so bored –
finding out life is a farce
and that it’s, it’s a very hard task




James Garratt – Wednesday 16th November
