love drain
(Ginny Clee/Pete Smith)

when a heart overflows
hopelessly unrequited
love has nowhere to go
‘cept down the drain
thought we were stronger
thought we’d last longer
we’re fools if we squander
searching for the truth
hidden in your silence
questions sharp and ruthless
swell like razors
would we be stronger
if we’d had a little longer
i've a lifetime to wonder
love drain
no-one believes in the tears of a scarecrow
if they notice at all it’s just yesterday's rain
dig deep
dig deeper
under the floor
under the ocean
bury your dreams like pirates' treasure
don’t make a map
just walk away
