I was downstairs in the greenroom

waiting for you to appear.

I said hello to your family,

I said hello to your friends,

I said hello to this situation

that never yields.



Now its easy for me to tell you

that my love for you is real.

I once stumbled on these feelings,

I once stumbled on these words,

something you'll never stumble on dear.



Oh you were so baroque,

all of those words,

just to tell me no.

And you were so softspoken

with all of the others

who said you weren't broken,

they just let you go.



When you're three days down the highway

and you're looking like I feel;

if it takes a lot to keep it going,

if it takes a lot to keep it real,

take sometime for yourself and

and learn to yield..
