In My Defense

In my defense I tend to get these things wrong

I'm no detective, it's true

All I know I learned from you

What I should and should not do

What to see and to see through

I see I've done it again

I broke the silence too soon

I spoke of feelings as truth

I recant but it's no use

Look me in the eye

Tremble at the sight of my cape

I've been working overtime

Just to get you home safe

See the ash on the breeze

Alive, moving with ease

The fire flows through the trees

All will burn, all will freeze

All will soon mean nothing again

But I don't want to be a cloud

It bored me then, it will bore me again

In my defense I tend to get these things wrong
