Overboard

Under the trees
I can see the train arriving
I know you will be waiting for me
But I know I won’t be gone
And the temperature is rising

I brush aside the flies
From out of my eyes
In the barren waste of a town
That was never any good for me

You’ve got to understand
It isn’t my fault
This time
I’m sad, but I can’t go that way

Coming, you’re
Walking slowly up the hill
With a weight of expectation
I can’t possibly fulfil
Away beyond the trees
I know you won’t hear me so
I know you can’t see me and
I’ve got to go

You’ve got to understand
It isn’t my fight
This time
I’m sad, like you never went away
Never went away
My life had gone astray
And your coming back has made me see that

Now
I only wanted to be yours
I wanted to be only yours
I’m overboard
Overboard

It's easy to go overboard. Hopefully we can all swim. A great write.
