Scott Whitby, 2021
She said 'what are you thinking about'
I said nothing...it wasn't true
Lost in days gone by
And the pleasures of my youth
I was thinking about days gone by
How I was growing old
And how she looked just the same
Her eyes and skin still glowed
She said what are you thinking now
I knew she didn't care
I said nothing just like before
I had no thoughts to spare
I was thinking about my life
And all I had not done
How I failed at what I meant to be
I could list them one by one
One more time she asked again
This time she was intent
I said I'm thinking about you
How you were Heaven sent
Now she seems satisfied
All my thoughts torn open
I wonder what she was thinking
And can her thoughts be stolen
I asked her what she was thinking
Said it was about me
How tall and dark and handsome
How I made her free
She thought of days gone by
How I was growing old
She was thinking she felt young
How I was fool's gold
I asked again what's in your mind
You can tell me true
She said what a blessing
The day that I found you
I knew the truth and she did too
I could read her mind
She knew my faults one by one
They weren't hard to find
She promised she would love me
Like family and all her friends
I promised I would too
And I do until the end
