Reflections

The car races along
The weather stays fine
No driving duties for me now
My thoughts are all mine

I watch the clouds
As they stream by too
Dark grey shapes
With glimpses of blue

Reminds me of me
And the moods that flow
From highest high
To deepest low

It's like looking in
And I'm on the outside
Feelings unprotected
Eyes open wide

And I look in the mirror
Unsure of what I'll see
Friend or foe
Companion or enemy

And though my reflection
Is not always happy
Guess it's what makes
Up this man called Three

Slope

Mind if I slope away? Don't feel in the mood today
Can't seem to find my way. Or any words I want to say
Care if I disappear? Won't go too far but won't be too near
Please don't come and bend my ear. Give me time for my head to clear

I don't mind if you tag along. Sing the words to your favourite song
It doesn't matter if you get them wrong. Just find a place where you belong
Let's play pooh stick on the stream. Pretend it's our favourite dream
Then everything around will seem. Like we're the cat that got the cream

Now I've sloped I want to return.  Retrace my steps, about-face turn
Don't want any more time to burn. And inside I pray and yearn
That myself I won't confine. And each time I'll recognise the sign
When I'm crossing my own fault line. And never to let it myself define
