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
