i cannot fit in
i cannot please you
you close your door to me
haven’t got the time
i would like to know

the love that should be so deep
has gone to sleep,
and i am afraid it is no longer there
of course i do in a way,
but most of all i just care

yet it still isn’t complete
so nearly… yet not quite
i need the lights in this street
i need strings for this kite
the day was here for keeps

i start to shake
and i wonder where it is leading
i am full of it,
full of this feeling

i never wanted this
i was always staring
either out of windows or into myself
now it is getting hard to be me

i am looking inwards
and my friend, i see twilight
come in, through the skylight
be warm, by the firelight

i stared at my reflection
it looked lovingly at me
how can i be alone
when there seems to be another me
another chance in another reality

and i have been facing it all week
just sometimes i wish you would cut the cold
cut the, ‘stand offish’
and let yourself be held

they have slowly stripped me
of every trick i wear
they have left me shaking
unshaven and long haired
