13. I said 'Sunshine'

I said ‘Sunshine’
But it turned into rain
I said ‘Laughter’
But you’re crying again
And I know

I said ‘Look love
Can’t you see it’s a shower?’
You said ‘No, love,
I’ll be gone in an hour’
And I know

And of I’ve all the things I’ve ever done
You’ve always been a place to run
I would not see, you saw straight through me
And of all the things I ever said
I never thought we'd cut it dead
And end like this, without a kiss

I said ‘Romance’
But it turned into farce
I said ‘Plenty’
But it ended up sparse
And I know

I said ‘Future’
But I wanted more past
I said ‘Passion’
But it never would last
And I know

But of all the things we ever saw
I never thought I’d be the bore
I clearly am, wham bam thank you ma’am
And of all the dreams I’ve ever had
I never had one quite as sad
As this one seems, teach me not to dream

I said ‘Woman’
Treated you like a child
I said ‘Adventure’
But it ended up mild
And I know

I say ‘Sadness’
Can manage that on my own
And ‘Longing’
I find it better alone
And I know
I know
