There are things that will grow
In the bottom of the well,
If you let them.
Angry monsters can live
Deep within your heart
Only if you them.

If I were given more time
I’d probably throw it all away.

Nothing is guaranteed,
Not in the least.
Sometimes they go out hunting;
But end up as the Feast.

Spent years building bridges,
Should have started digging,
A place to hide.
Scraped together a fortune
Now there’s nothing to buy.
No place left to hide.

Nothing is guaranteed,
Not in the least.
Sometimes they go out hunting;
But end up as the Feast.

If I were given more time
I’d probably throw it all away.
Until I’ve wasted my last dime
Safe bet I’ll continue to play
And throw it all away.

I don’t remember a time when these lyrics and the music were separate. It has always been a slow groovin’ piece I usually played when no one was around and I was just jamming. Learning how to play sing with more power, but controlled. I must like juxtaposition and odd perspective observations but the thought that someone would give you their love that you would give it back. It can be taken both ways. Is giving their love back in addition to yours or does the word ‘but’ in the Chorus mean it is a rejection and you are refusing their love or a meaningless phrase? You can be the decider on that one.

A poem about true dedication and devotion to your spouse. And unabashed confession of abandonment to love. I mean, come on. Read the title lol. More importantly than anything though, I will remain.

I am terrible with names and dates. I mention this often not as an excuse most of the time. Like driving on the same street over and over you start to feel a bit like the car is doing the driving and you are on auto-pilot. For me names and faces become a blur so fast. I remember voices but that isn’t much help these days.

Something others do

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

Remember names. I moved too much as a kid and just don’t have the storage space lol.

I continue to look at the actions I see in crowds or parties that I become part of. The opening verse is part of a number of themes I have pondered for a while. How much is enough for wealthiest people on the planet? How can you measure when you succeed? And it applies to all. You know something is wrong and you don’t say anything….. She simply wasted what she had….. They never knew how good they had it until.
