bedtime for the kids

something new
something blue
something old
something to show for
something to be told

a story
some glory
some sorrys
wrapped up in a picture collage
some emotional mirage
something to hold for a while
something to wash wash away forever
something to be said for happily never after

something to be said for exhausting me
wringing me out
taking me in
swallowing my juice tonight
do me just right
tomorrow no more
tomorrow for sure
you and me
two peas
in your pod
now your ipod
a song to sing
something to remember
so close once
once upon a time
once upon a dime

i'm all outta change
and your face these days
looks kinda strange
like someone i may have known
your voice, like that blank dial tone
no getting thru
just something new
something blue
something old
something to show for
something told

some sorrys
some glory
some story


the end.
