This Thing
i’m missing this thing
this thing we do
i’m missing it and it’s really hard
i’m listening to you
show me how to go
show me what i should do
i hope you know
i hope you laugh
i hope you grow
this thing is strange
you’re a voice in my brain
it’s turning me inside out
and you know that it doesn’t work
this thing, this dream
this demon, this fiend
my life, the end my friend
i;m watching the sky
i’m alive today
yes i am,
but i am missing the thing
this thing that we used to do
James Garratt – September 1996
