T.V.

Mostly wasted days
Not lavender skies
Not fishing boats
Or silent moments of you and me
Just the T.V.

Mostly all alone
With my old V and J
With my unspoken conversations
And empty reverie
And the T.V.

You are my life
You hold the key to my heart
And always will
You are my life
Through all the years and the tears
I love you still

I watch the seconds fly
Like feathery clouds
And doze on ships of dreams
I wish you’d sailed with me
Past this T.V.

The pictures blink and die
Till the sign off prayer
Stories of people in love
Speak all day to me
From the T.V.

You are my life
You hold the key to my heart
And always will
You are my life
Through all the years and the tears
I love you still
