In My Minds Eye

By blood we live
Can’t take the weight
Each day we give
Sometimes too late

And so it turns to dust
Through years unknown
And then we lose the trust
The time has flown

I don’t want money
I don’t want fame
I think that I might get lost
I’m in no hurry
I make no claim
The answers won’t come across

I see your face
In my mind’s eye
Look back, no trace
It passed me by

A stranger at my door
A silent prayer
Can’t see you anymore
Too much to bear

While I take shelter
This blinding rain
Is turnin’ everyone cold
This helter skelter
As time remains
Is hard to grasp and to hold
