I’ve got to have that noise: Somewhere inside my head It says Be beautiful, be gracious In all you’ve said There in my head It tells me not to cry Then stabs me in the chest Just born in the wrong time I guess To be here, alluring and distressed It dresses me in times ago Leaves me mourning times unknown I know I don’t belong here, now It was some simple, stupid vow To come again, and be less known A void among the shadows sown A leaf of grass in yards of green A voice not heard, a sight unseen And yes I yearn to be back there Where I was once a sight, repaired From broken-ness, a shadow Seen, a girl with many broken dreams So here I am, again in time A voiceless tune, forgotten rhyme Though I do love this lifetime true I find so many tearsome blues I try to fight, then to resign Myself to these so lonesome times A friend or two, where did they go Lost, gone among the tiresome snow A lost embrace, a timed romance A fearsome look, a ripened glance And so I’ll live, but who knows why My life’ s become an alibi I’ll go back soon, so who knows when I’d like to see your face again Upon the hills, inside the sun Warmer than this world’s fiercest gun You’ll see me soon, I won’t forget I’lll try this time not to regret This song in rhyme, so goes my time This lonesome city lullaby. -Kim 5-22-02
