on a serious note ...
gary's song
it's a crying day, a sighing day
when the sky is grey and low
and the air too still
when the rain just won't rain
- on our faces upturned, begging
there's a distance we cannot travel
- and your energy, it's flagging
and a whisper on the horizon
might be thunder or might be sleep
and the promises of a storm or rest
are equally as sweet
in time you'll walk in sunshine
and we'll no longer weep
but today - a crying day, a dying day -
you've a journey to complete.
