When I Saw You There

Well it is another bit of lyrics - this is not a Waltz though - well at least not yet.

          When I Saw You There

When I saw u there 

With that debonair 

Air of self-destruction

I couldn’t turn your way 

To try to dissuade 

The wrath that u had brought on

 

And......

 

I knew right there

There’s no way that things could fail

And that the captain no longer would narrate stories 

To no one except those dusty sails 

 

If only for a minute 

Just a single memory

When we were both excited 

On whom we thought that we should be 

 

That train has past 

Whistle sounded long ago

And the martyrs we employed 

Have walked the picket lines and thrown around 

rotten ideas that yield such bitter consequence

But I scoff at their inflated egos

And try the best I can

 

But things don’t seem the same 

Since we’ve gone our separate ways

The pizzas lost its flavor 

Although I know my tastes haven’t changed

The menu's grown quite stale

Though the ingredients are the same

And the cooks just smoke their cigarettes in dead-locked debate

 

All I could do was flash a smile 

And hope the gods

Would rule in my favor

F**k I know it's been a while 

The challenge has been thrown 

Just like pistols at dawn 

And I hope that I can measure up 

 to these lyrics that I’ve sewn

 

But our portrait has so many flaws 

It should occupy the Louvre

Chords strumming redundantly

By moonlight 

In hopes that I get to see you soon 

 

But that ship has sailed

And once again I missed the boat

The water has never been as intriguing as it appears to me now
