Anywhere Near Your Heart
Most of my poems are from what can best be described as my "Blue Period", aka "The Dark Year of the Restless Soul".
Folks are always writing
About this feeling called despair
I'd listen to their sorry songs
I really did not care
But now you've got me singin'
Since you put me down
About these blues you're bringin'
Got me feeling like a clown
Sometimes when I get this low
When there's nowhere else to go
I use this trusty pen of mine
In hopes someday you'll know
I see you in my dreams at night
And every time I sleep
I seem to miss you more and more
This blue is running deep
Each song that's on the radio
Seems to call your name
And every time I wake up
The voice I hear's the same
Don't push me from your life right now
Don't slam that open door
There's an answer to our problems, girl
We'll work them out for sure
I've got that lonely feeling
Since you put me down
I sit and home and watch TV
You said, "Don't come around".
Why can't we sit and work it out
Get back to what it was about
We watched those months
Turn into years
We fought and struggled
Through laughter and tears
Remember how it was, back then
Havin' great fun in the start
Spent every day together, then
Couldn't stand to be apart
Now it seems you're sayin'
I no longer play a part
I'm no longer to be stayin'
Anywhere near your heart
Don't Come Around Here No More
