That Kind Of Pity

That Kind Of Pity
I felt a kind of pity
And all that sort of things
I took the law into my own hands
And the events that led up to the war
I lay where I have fallen
It didn’t lie with me
I should like more time
I should like to know why

I felt it getting hot

A page littered with mistakes
But, just how many I don’t know
Because I told them to go away
I lay where I have fallen
It didn’t lie with me
I should like more time
I should like to know why

I’m not one to take things lying down
Although I live on hope

And even if
The words don’t fit
Together, I promise
I won’t walk away
That and nothing else
It’s all that I can say
But you don’t forget
I’ll do my level best

I felt about in the dark
Trailing behind broken dreams
Where the plants grow in the ground
Although everything’s really as it seems
I lay where I have fallen
It didn’t lie with me
I should like more time
I should like to know why

I’m not one to take things lying down
Although I live on hope

And even if
The words don’t fit
Together, I promise
I won’t walk away
That and nothing else
It’s all that I can say
But you don’t forget
I’ll do my level best
