I'm Sorry It Took So Long

In the month of February I am contemplating spring Time is never at rest So I try my best at pacing Just to see if it'll help Can't right now, I'll do it later Leave to fate or push to Maybe another time Today's just not the day to force a Reason for the rhythm or the rhyme I'm sorry It feels so far even though it fills my days Flash to June, the desktop cluttered Hopes not shuttered, I'll wrap soon Late nights and sips of scotch The city watches the fog roll in While the writer shelters with Lagavulin Now it's fall Quite frankly all I have to show for it is this Short chorus, a scribbled page The vague half-finished verse Becoming irrelevant and a little worse with age I'm sorry It feels so far even though it fills my days Isn't it noble to be a bard Isn't it human to tell a story Is it normal to wanna discard All of the lyrics I wrote before Even the good ones I think they're all trash In music I'm reminded How in time it all falls out of fashion So I think I'll just quit! I'm not gonna finish it! Come along Joel It's just a song Joel I wasn't planning to take so long I had a vision at twenty three Deep revelation within nine songs So that the future remembers me Well look at that ego Isn't all this quite conceited? Won't I want to change the verses When they're finally completed? I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry it took so long I'm sorry it took sooooo Long
