Back Yard Memories by ShyHeart

Got my hand around a cold one, as I see the sun going down
Tired, this has been a tough one, as days go, they all seem to be the same
Since you well, let's skip all that, I'm here alone, got a cold one in my hand
So I step out into the back yard and watch the sun going somewhere, down

Perhaps, the Caribbean coast or even Africa, hell who knows, I'm sure
Someone else, sees the sun going down after a hard day, working for the man
Just pay the rent and electric bill and I'm free, sitting in my back yard
Sun has gone to sleep I see the fire flies showing off their stuff, just like me

On and off, then the light just disappears and waits for the sunrise
To reappear as it always does, in the shadows, of my time alone
Getting tired of waiting for you to come back to me, tired of seeing
The setting sun coming down all over me, I hear the neighbors

Dog start to bark at the moon, what else should I expect, sitting here
Alone, no not my fault she should have known, guess, she did
I'm siting in my Back Yard watching memories and fire-flies
One at a time disappear into tomorrow's sun-light, cold one in my hand

Just imagine an Eagle swooping down to a toll road booth and paying a fee
So its wings could fly on into freedom, All the Eagle has ever known!
Now a free heart must pay a fee for love, guess the world has passed me by,
I always thought that love was free, and still believe it is, as I sit alone and
Share my memories of when I was, what you thought of me.

i can relate
this is a neat one - just sitting there, putting your thoughts down as they come to you, which includes your feelings and emotions and all the other baggage that goes with that... very well done, and real - totally real. peace...
