'75
Lesley Matthews, whatever happened to you?
To give away your book of poetry
Hot off the press in '75
Were you quick to write your name inside?
How did it fall away from you?
Were the pages too sharp?
Were the words too Heavy?
Did your soul pass on?
Or did you need the money?
Lesley Matthews, whatever happened to you?
To give away your book of poetry
Hot off the press in '75
Were you quick to write your name inside?
How did it fall away from you?
Was it a gift from a lover
With a certain verse in mind?
Or was it fuel to feed a fire?
To untwist words from a tongue so tied
Have I got you wrong now Lesley?
With a name, a name that's bathed in ambiguity
Did you need a helping hand when you bookmarked page 266
Entitled false security?
Could you find the missing piece?
And now this book's in my possession
47 years with pages barely worn
For many more I'll always ask the question
Did you even read this book at all?
And who were you Lesley Matthews?
To give away your book of poetry
Hot off the press in '75
Were you quick to write your name inside?
How did it fall away from you?
Were the pages too sharp?
Were the words too Heavy?
Did your soul pass on?
Or did you need the money?
Lesley Matthews, whatever happened to you?
To give away your book of poetry
Hot off the press in '75
Were you quick to write your name inside?
How did it fall away from you?
Was it a gift from a lover
With a certain verse in mind?
Or was it fuel to feed a fire?
To untwist words from a tongue so tied
Have I got you wrong now Lesley?
With a name, a name that's bathed in ambiguity
Did you need a helping hand when you bookmarked page 266
Entitled false security?
Could you find the missing piece?
And now this book's in my possession
47 years with pages barely worn
For many more I'll always ask the question
Did you even read this book at all?
And who were you Lesley Matthews?
