Sometimes at Breakfast
Sometimes At Breakfast
Was the passion of youth
Just a cheap cardtrick,
To shuffle the genes
In a game
Nature rigged?
When smitten and lovesick
Was I king or a pawn?
All for the love of you.
No gypsy heart,
No poet's mind,
Could pump with such force
Or attempt to describe,
How a face could enchant
Or a voice hypnotise.
All for the love of you
Sometimes I catch you
Peeping and wondering,
If you were still clasped
To my heart like before?
Then I'll burst out laughing
And then you'll laugh too.
All for the love of you .
So wait awhile
Please stay a while
Lay down beside me
Don't ask me why.
Tell me I'm handsome,
Say I'm still wild.
Just say you won't ask me why.
When the passion subsides
And the struggle begins.
Through labour,
Through tedium
When it's sink or swim.
I may have struggled
But I did what i did.
All for the love of you .
As the years fade pale
And my hair turns gray.
When the top of that food chain
Seems further away.
In your eyes I find peace,
Then my troubles are few
All for the love of you .
Sometimes at breakfast
I still catch you staring,
Wondering if you're still
The love of my life.
Then just to tease you
I pretend to ignore you,
All for the love of you.
So wait awhile
Please be a while,
Lay here beside
Don't ask me why.
Tell me I'm brave,
Still handsome and wild,
But say you won't ask me why.
