Another Saturday (pics) by lyricalpontiff(m): 11:46am On Nov 11, 2016 |
Have you ever seen yourself At the confluence of joy and despair? Saturday's were sweet sad stories I know it, I have been there There I was dancing in the rain You can't tell tears from raindrops I have slept in impatience shoes I too have paid my own dues in full I sang a lonely song to the moonlight I have listened to the music of mockery For us who knew the latest weddings in town We bought all the ashoebis and gowns That was me catching flowers, I made a job of it And time tossed me on its middle finger And I still held my blood of innocence The noose woven around the neck of luck is cut I've cleared all the debris and dusted my heart I've come to this rushing river to cast the coffins of the past Today I have come into the full tide This is the start of a task, a long journey ANOTHER SATURDAY, I'll drown in my tears tonight I'll bleed out my last drop of innocence I shall say "I do" on the alter of light I will never retire in this life long duty In bold steps, I'm crossing new frontiers The ring is my trophy of pride I'll match with the dance of the glory I've done it a thousand times in my dreams The world must hear my own song I must raise my light on the mountains
