Street Life

We did not speek, but our eyes met for a split second. It will take a long time before I forget that look of wisdom, yet filled with total resignation. |
Woke up in the morning,
warmed up by the sun.
Seems I chose the wrong day,
to tamper with that gun.
One more day to go then?
Woke up in the morning,
tickled by the wind.
Seems I chose the wrong day,
to commit that final sin.
One more day to go then?
Woke up in the morning,
mellowed by the rain.
Seems I chose the wrong day,
to prove myself insane.
One more day to go then?.
Laying stiff one morning,
frozen by the snow.
Seems I didn?t have to chose,
I?ve left this life we know.
No more days to go then?
warmed up by the sun.
Seems I chose the wrong day,
to tamper with that gun.
One more day to go then?
