Late Night Thinkers – Written Tuesday 9th September 1997 (Aged 22)

Late Night Thinkers

i am too tired to talk to you
but it is okay,
you can talk to me
talk to me,
as i slowly fall asleep
i know i’m not as much as you expect
but it is okay,
i just want you to talk
it is hard to have respect –
for the world when i look around
all of it appears to be falling down –
around our ears
all of it appears to be all of my fears
and that’s my final conclusion –
which comes from my young years
i am too tired to think
but it is okay,
i just want to sink with you on my frame
i know we still feel good about ourselves
don’t let our hope flow down the drain
don’t swap one handful of time
for two handfuls of pain
i need you words,
as surreal as that may seem
and it’s not absurd –
to wander to amongst your feelings
and i am too tired to talk to you
but we will be okay, soon it will be another day




James Garratt – Tuesday 9th September 1997
