Catch Me If You Can

I wanna go back there
I don't care what I got to lose
Insecurity has taken it's toll
Time has tickled me enough
Being old is a big menace just as much as it is a blessing
I could title it 'believing in fairy tales'
but who'd believe me..
except me

I didn't want this war....

I keep finding myself in other dreams
doing other things
gazing at white lonely flowers falling
off the side of a Seaside Hill
landing softly
on faded grass

Soft beauty ...
that's what I miss.
Playing in the streets..unattended,
loving so hard I never wanted to look back,
and.... the last one to crack
When did I lose my childhood ?
Where did my chronic serendipity go ?
When did Winter roses start to die
instead of live...?

find me The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

What's so funny is these eevie jeevies
love still gives me...
Yeah, guilty as charged
tryna get home/back home
knowing that we who change too late
miss the jokes....you know
No more clicking the heels,
no more brick road thrills....
just a busted window pain/pane

Now each day I find myself
hugging myself
because I just don't want to let go
I'm taking my boot to my own head
because.....I'm still feeling time and place
squeezing my muscles
....so I won't forget....

It's the only excitement I look for


I'm still a free free spirit....a phoenix outlaw
and I say to my dreams
....

catch me if you can
