Sadness , when it comes
Sudden and unannounced.
Hold on a bit I say,
Trying old tricks to keep you at bay.
Park that thought,
While I quickly wrap up this act.
Distracting as ever before
Sweet nursing of open sores.
Hold on a bit I say,
Trying old tricks to keep you at bay.
I shall find you some time
But not today
Time is so short
And you are here to stay.
Hold on a bit I say,
Trying old tricks to keep you at bay.
Hiding beneath
That brilliant smile
No one knows,
What brings you alive
Hold on a bit I say,
Trying old tricks to keep you at bay.
On the stormy, rainy day
Or the silent Sunday.
The whispering of the leaves
Or the wordless balmy breeze .
Hold on a bit I say,
Trying old tricks to keep you at bay.
