YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO LISTEN

Do you like the “Holmes Brothers”?
Well do you? Or ~~~

“DON’T YOU HAVE TIME TO LISTEN?”

You don’t have time to listen
Sometimes that breaks my heart

I tell you something very important
I ask, when is a good time to start?

You look at me blankly
Say nothing at all

I stand there waiting
But don’t hear your call, non call

You look out, keep looking out the window
I talk to the wall, narrow minded wall

You start your pacing, racing pacing
I walk down the hall, dark hall

You feel bad and begin to cry
Reach in your drawer and drink from your brandy

Put on the music and start to listen

“What’s so bad about peace, hope and understanding?

You cry, again
