Every Day Life
The sun is shining
It’s a beautiful day
I sit watching the world go by
Waiting impatiently for my love
A walk by the river
The wind in my face
To walk with my lover
At a leisurely pace
Nothing to rush home for
Just you and me
We have no room for anyone else
Hand in hand together
We chat and laugh about nothing particular
Just enjoying each others company
Two lovers they see but take no notice
No-one to judge us, they don’t care
Too wrapped up in themselves
Too wrapped up in each other
How insular we are
We have no need for others
They just distract us from each other
We sit by the river in silence
No need for words, that look says it all
The sun glints in your hair
You look so happy
You seem to have no cares
Suddenly it’s over and the clouds appear
Back to real life we have to go
Back to pretending everything’s fine
But we know the pain of every day life
And the things that keep us apart….
