Shuddered

from Heist On A Bike by Douglas Kay

/

lyrics

Of all the words I had, The ones you heard were least important,
And when they’d land like little birds, Without a hint the floodgates opened.

I always shuddered when you’d curse,
Although I’d heard you do much worse.

Of all the scraps I’ve had, The ones with you left me most battered,
And though I tried so hard, Taking each blow - to show you mattered

I always shuddered when you’d curse,
Although I’d heard you do much worse.

You bring down the gavel, And it all starts to unravel,
And how queer it is, To be back here again.


With every day which I count, I see how much of life we’ve squandered,
And so I fill my thoughts, Imagining days when we wandered.
