It's What's Been Shown There is no pain in sheltered eyes There is no change in steady thought Empty shell sitting by the hall Every-one likes the shadows on the wall Stand apart from the other crowd Crying when it's not allowed There's no worry in a patient heart When the mind calms down is when the danger starts No-one sees the empty ones Ways that wold rather be unknown Everything remains apart from thought That's where all the losers get caught The misty days remain unknown It's not a fault It's what's been shown It's not a fault, it's what's been shown © Mary Valley 1984, 2004 |
Chasing Circles Conversations, words Things they have to tell Why, what, where? Confusion, I can't tell Intensity, chance? The written words don't help If I could see every move they make Win or lose -- nothing's at stake Things move too fast around here I don't want to stay around here The games are Important here First prize is So very near Give me the crowded room Give me the open space Nothing to run to or from Yet we're still caught up in the race If I could see every move they make Win or lose -- nothing's at stake I think something's wrong around here © Mary Valley 1984, 2004 |
