Carptree Evening Sadness
Put your rake down
and lock your garden shed
Let every prospect dream and sleep
in the flower bed
All your plans will
sometime not be fulfilled
you do not stop your planning though you know someday
you will.
All you have made will turn to something else one day,
what you have
done it could go on it could be gone
It doesn’t matter what you say – life will leave you
anyway
It doesn’t matter what you do – spring will bring back
everything
without you, without you, without you
Every dry leaf that’s falling to the ground
is a second passing by on a clock that’s slowing down.
The evening sadness when the days are getting few.
are only kept at distance by another grand new plan
The mark that you make, you draw in water, write in
dust,
what you have done it could go on it could be gone
It doesn’t matter what you say – life will leave you
anyway
It doesn’t matter what you do – spring will bring back
everything
Without you, without you, without you
