(what a presumptious piec of BS i am. but hey yopu already knoew that or you wouldn't be readin my ramblings.-steve)




pireces of The Puzzle
a muzzle in your mouth
east or west
which shot is best
maybe north or south

not sure what went wrong
guess we never Knew Our Song
yeah. That's what was wrong

pieces of The Puzzle
couldn't, wouldn't
ever nuzzle
up to you & me
we never could see
whether or not we tried
so we loved & our love died
to each other
one to another
to our selfs
'bout the way IT was
'cause
neither one of us
knew the truth
neither one of us
wanted ta' face
the HOW ITWAS
The How IT Ain't
shit,
then we'd have ta' feint

so We were circles
in the air
round & round
in the air
i was squares,
round hOlds
pegs square if i was there

puzzles that just beg
round holes
& square pegs

time revolved
to be resolved
you evolved
i desolved
time past
time cast
hell,
time don't never last

to the wind
to the end
wadn't 'nuthin ta' send
ta' mend
sometimes
THe End is The End

time past on sumpin'
wouldn't last

time past
on sumpin'
past

so you go on
maybe i did,
yeah, still hang on

least We both had that song
so it's gone.
Yeah, IT's Gone.

least it was a few years
or two or 20
more than a few tears
for me & you
anyway
plenty
for 2 2 know
what "I love You"
can do
our love never 'came ta'
screw you's
thank god
guess He had that one too


still i remember
the "i love you's"
know what
still love you too.
hell,
bet you still love me too.

but bein' married ta' me,
hell,
couldn't see that for you
from before
you graced my door

shit,
our love was a puzzle
sumpin' you never could shuffle
thru their pieces
our love was never eazies

but when you put 'em togeteher
thru fair & stormy weather
always remember
no foul
no harm
love ain't got no lucky charm

but when ya' put 'em together
fair or stormy weather
together or apart
2 hearts are still 2 hearts
together

when it's over
it's a relief
even when it's grief
when you part's
2 hearts are still too hearts

saw the setting of the Sun
this mornin' when dawn had come

each day
wadn't much ta' say
'cept come what may
least it's Livin' Today

wadn't too much to the puzzle
'cept pointin' the muzzle
in my mouth

'least when i left
i wadn't heaDIN' SOUTH

least The Puzzle
found a piece
ta' eaze
my mind

2 people
in a puzzle
duzzle
wuzzle
make up words
'bout love

'bout love

guess that's the puzzle

'bout love
