Burning Bridges

The sun was going down

Shadows lengthened on the ground

Snow fell silently and deep

Blanketing the empty streets

In a fragile way, couldn't face another day

In need of love and care, broken, under repair

I'm the quicksands of despair

In the desert of unfair

You found me drowning there

Caught my glance of do not care

You took me to your bed, laid your hands upon my head

Said, "Sleep now have no fear, you are safe for I am here."

We'd talked the night away, into another day

In the morning, you were gone, now every moment seems too long

My thoughts went round and round, impossible to sleep

I started burning bridges, when I gave up counting sheep

An asbestos chimney, can shorten your life
