LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jon McKay

Intro

All stories unfold
As most do
Out of courtesy
Of what
We look forward
To

Is when someone
Glides by and
The sun provides
Their reflection
In our eyes
Mind

Part 1

For me
I pass any window
A car a shinny hub cap
In any town or street

A shop
A dress on display
I couldn't cover the cost
Even shoes for your feet

Any more

Bridge

So save
That smile for
The one
Who could

As I realise

As I release

Chorus

The title I wrote down
Filled the rest around
Latently
The fabric of
My life

The curve of your spine
Tilled the best ground
Patiently
The fabric of
Your life

We have past
And are
Unlikely to
Ever
Meet

Part 2

For she
Waits like lands fallow
Colours show a missing band
A white gown in pleat

A shop
A dress on display
I couldn't cover the cost
Even shoes for your feet

Anymore

Bridge

So save
That smile for
The one
Who could

As you realise

As you release

Chorus

The title I wrote down
Filled the rest around
Latently
The fabric of
My life

The curve of your spine
Tilled the best ground
Patiently
The fabric of
Your life

We have passed
But are
Unlikely to
Ever
Meet

Ending

A story untold
Unfortunately
Tears all fabric
Apart
We take for
Two
