From the recording SAY SOMETHING IN POETRY
Lyrics
TEN MINUTES TO LONELY
8:59 - I’m still doing fine on my daily walk;
9 o’clock - We begin to talk, and then the fun;
9:01 - What’s done is done between me and you;
9:02 - I’m still talking to you, and I see,
9:03 - You’re showing me to the door.
9:04 - There must be more to being alive.
9:05 - How I used to thrive on your tricks.
9:06 - Now your house of bricks has stories seven;
9:07 - They reach up to Heaven, right to the Gate.
9:08 - This must be my fate, to walk the line,
9:09 - Between yours and mine over and over again.
9:10 - I believe this is when I say my last goodbye.
It was ten minutes to lonely when I talked to you.
I was just ten minutes from lonely when I talked to you.
