Yes, so this is it

Yes, so this is it
The outcome no surprise
Like Greek and Roman empires
Now ruins and demise

Look, not a cut
I'm without a scrape
For I sensed the outcome
And planned my escape

I am not a tree of heaven

I am not a tree of heaven
To spring from sidewalks cracks
To grow against brick walls
Or in soil which only lacks

As I stare at all the trees
I wonder which would be
The one that I would choose
If I could choose to be a tree

You said your words too quickly

You said your words too quickly
You did not speak in turn
I had no time to answer
And your question went unearned

Your pace is far too fast
I'm afraid you'll turn around
You'll surely see me failing
As you find your solid ground

The Earth quietly spins

The Earth quietly spins
In a dark, mysterious place
We call this home, sad to think
It's really outerspace

Lonely is the planet Earth
That spins on and moves ahead
Lonely there beside this hill
For those who love the dead

Unsure of when I started

Unsure of when I started
And now I'm towards the end
Solving a life mystery
That somewhere lies within

To have reached my conclusion
Blind as a stone and see
The answer without doubt
As true as Truth can be

I looked at the horizon

I looked at the horizon
Dividing here and there
I looked up at the sky
Earth and who knows where

I looked down at my feet
And slowly I can see
Northing really matters
Everything a small degree

I saw a dead man

I saw a dead man
Walking home today
He did not ask the time
Nor had a word to say

I turned many corners
He closely followed more
As if his home were mine
And his key would fit my door
