I’ve lost the art of conversation
Can’t solve the simple equation
Spending too much time alone
Too much time at home
Just a broken fool
Battling demons cruel
Sometimes I think of you
And the things we used to do
And I’d like to fall back in
Hold you deep within
The feelings that once grew
Still alive and true
Such a handsome man
Your hands spoke with elan
Your voice a melodious chord
Playing my backbone keyboard
I reveled in the sound
While words became unwound
But seeing you again
Isn’t like it was back then
I can’t resurrect the past
If I could, it wouldn’t last
For I am not the same
No longer in the game
I’ve lost more than conversation
Can’t solve the simple equation
Prefer to be alone
Safe and secure at home
Just a broken fool
Battling demons cruel
No one said life was fair
Time steals the finest share
But memories are sweet
Even in retreat
And I’ll always hold you dear
In a dream free and clear
I’ve lost the art of conversation
Can’t solve the simple equation
Prefer to be alone
Safe and secure at home
Just a broken fool
Battling demons cruel
