Etta

He smiles and comes by, laughs kids and fiddles, says what's said lies, keeps a cheerful mien, writes on yellow lists, new clothes all in vain, then he starts to cry, weeps what he's missed, what's wrong with life, why he's in the frame, searching for a kiss, knows what's thrown away, forget the bitter times, when it’s hit and miss, he'll just keep trying, his dreams here to stay, sorry that I'm pissed, can't we start again, days of heavy tides, stars come out like milk, it's not some other guy, makes the moon shift.
