He Came To Me

It is 3am, and this is my third post for the day. But it wanted out and it wanted out now. I think I underestimated the value of singing to myself in bed.

He came to me,
In the silent street,
He was after me,
No one else was there to see,
And for all of me.
I never want to be,
But he made me see,
It wasn’t up to me.

All those useless lives,
Just guarantee that you won’t deny,
All those useless verbs,
Just assure me of the written word,
Just assure me of the written word.

We’ll be,
Oh we’ll be free.
In the silent street,
And he took my feet –
And he made me run,
Run under burning sun,
He had a loaded gun,
And it was so much fun,
Oh we,
we will be free,
It wasn’t up to me,
Because he made me smile,
And then we ran a mile,
Oh child.

All those useless men,
Just didn’t know it was all pretend,
And all that useless world,
Just close your eyes and tell the girl,
Just close your eyes and tell the girl,
She’ll whirl.

And then it came to me,
As he kisses me,
And he made me cry,
And then he took my eyes,
And he made me see,
That there was more to be,
And it was all I need,
Something else to be,
oh free.

Oh what useless lives,
All these useless lives,
Just crying out to battered wives,
Silent streets all hypnotised,
Silence in the streets, we’re hypnotised.
Oh what useless curves,
Oh what lovely curves,
Curves in the road of a shattered girl,
Curves in the load of a different world,
Oh girl.
And then he came to me,
In the silent street,
And he had my eyes,
And he had my feet,
And he smiled at me,
And he held his hat,
And he turned to see,
Can you imagine that?
But it was plain to me,
There was an end to earth,
It wasn’t up to me,
No someone else’s turn, oh no,
And that was all to see,
It wasn’t up to me,
And he was after me,
I never want to be.

All those useless worlds,
All those useless words,
Just so we fall into lovers arms,
Just so we keep ourselves from harm,
All those useless lines,
All those useless lies,
Just to keep us hypnotised,
Just to keep you in disguise,
Just to keep my thoughts in time,
Oh time.
