Writing

Song byElton John

in AlbumCaptain Fantastic

Is there anything left

Maybe steak and eggs

Waking up to washing up

Making up your bed

Lazy days my razor blade

Could use a better edge

It's enough to make you laugh

Relax in a nice cool bath

Inspiration for navigation

Of our new found craft

I know you and you know me

It's always half and half

And we were oh oh, so you know

Not the kind to dawdle

Will the things we wrote today

Sound as good tomorrow

We will still be writing

In approaching years

Stifling yawns on Sundays

As the weekends disappear

We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind

But don't disturb us if you hear us trying

To instigate the structure of another line or two

Cause writing's lighting up

And I like life enough to see it through
