A Long Shot On A Short Trip

A Long Shot On A Short Trip

A Poem by mjsalyers
"

A song I wrote about reconciliation which I never recommend. If something ends, it generally has a reason but friendship transcends the tides of time.

"

Baby , I've got to go , I have to get some sleep .
I have got to work in the morning , I just wish there was more of me .
I spend too many hours everyday , Lost in the shuffle as another face .
But I just want you to hold me that's how I want to spend my time today
   Maybe , we can go to a park somewhere .
   Or , roll around in bed all day .
   But baby , everytime I look at you .
   You take my breath away ....
      You're a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart .
      Can you be here so , I can hold you close ?
      So , we don't fall apart .
      It seems to me we give too much away when we go to work each day
      So let's just call in and , let this whole world stop .
      Because baby , your a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart ....
What do you want to do today do you wanna spend the day with me ?
I know that business can get hectic but , can you take a day of leave ?
We can talk all day and lay out under the stars just as long as I am
                                with you .
I need a break from the head and , heart aches .
Do you feel the way I do ?...
   We can go down by the airport .
   And , watch the planes come in .
   And , with just a touch we've been missing so much .
   We can fall in love again ....
      Baby , you're a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart .
      Can you be here tonight to hold me close ?
      So that , I won't fall apart .
      I give too much away for someone else each day .
      And , I know it's time I stop .
      Because baby , you're a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart ....
Baby , I just put down the phone I just wanna be with you today .
We never get the time to make up our mind so let's take time to play .
I miss you so much , now but I can feel you under every inch of my skin 
There was a time when our life was simple can we take it there again ?!
      Ah baby , you're a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart .
      Can you be here so , I can hold you close ?
      So , we don't fall apart .
      We give too much away for someone else each day .
      And now , I think it's time we stopped .
      Because baby , your a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart ....
      Ah baby , you're a long shot on a short trip .
      To the middle of my heart ........
