Will you be there
when the dark day comes
as the light fades away
when all that i've lived,
the dreams and the wrongs
and the rights of it all
slip slow into grey.
Will you hold my hand tight
while the journey begin's
as my last breath is found
and quietly gone
like the sun
at the end of the day....

Rush on out
for a cheeseburger,
cardboard chips and coca cola
as the commercial break
steam roller
roll's over me
with instant picture
instant coffee and freeze dried tea.
And when you're having some of that
have a nibble
at some of this;a premium rate
discreat chat
and if cats could talk
they would buy that
low cost heating
for their mortgaged flat
and if you want a little
or want a lot
just stand still.,don't run
for cover
and you'll get squashed by the steam roller.....

every sight and every sound
     of all you've seen and heard
     and all those thoughts
     good and bad;all those words
     to the child you held
     or never did
     locked hard into that mortal skin
     till leaving day
     when you're lowered and gone,
     covered up,
     your flesh and bones
     and human wrongs
     to black decay.......dave hobbs
