Far Away
my old life seems to be far away
my old verse
and its melody
where once it towered
now it has fallen into the sea
my current life –
is out there and it is campaigning
it is knocking, going door to door
trying not to shoot itself in the foot
trying to build itself a future
James Garratt – November 2008
