LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jon McKay

Intro

I was sent post
Enclosed
Were paper and words

That made sense
Beyond
What appears within

My smile

Lately as I
Understand
Will become normal

In time

As the tin suggests


Part 1

And so
How do you know
When to look down
At the puzzle found
Upon the ground

Thoughts

Comes to resent
The threads
That become--became
The strings
That become--became
A
Rope--a chain

To--to
Hold weight
So heavy
Over my--broken
Heart

Part 2

And so
How do you know
To look away from
Mercury now ground
Reflecting a frown

Bought

Cloaks a portrait
The threads
That become--became
The strings
That become--became
A
Rope--a chain

To--to
Hold a weight
So heavy
Over my --mending
Heart

Ending--Chorus

And so
The note suggests

Open the front
Door
Place one leg
In front--today
Place the other
In front--tomorrow

Apply undercoat
Any colour at
All

Carry the weight
We
Need to sustain
In fonts--delay
Brace the bother
In fonts--sorrow

Apply undercoat
Any colour at
All

Finally

If your lucky
Be old and
Grey

Kind Regards
We are always
Thinking

Of you
