Resolution

So they found him on his knees
when questioned 'bout his sins
he answered with a maybe
mentioned outs and ins
thought of a lake once near
full of despondent daydreams
he used to slip off to

    but with another face
    a different constitution
    his nerves still crawling
    like a bunch of killer-snakes
    clung to his resolution (2x)
    not to go on falling

flick some ash from the table
count the clothespins on the wire
trees take on fall's colour
kiss her life sunshine
a new watch to keep time
guitar and words to rhyme
and everything just there to
kiss her life sunshine

    refr.
