\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry April 1969<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe sit on cushioned chairs<\/span><\/div>\n
\nwatching television<\/span><\/div>\n
\nResting from our cares<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe stare at a partition<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe’ve created in our minds<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd although we loath this division<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIt’s plain to see we’re blind.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nFor the words that we have spoken<\/span><\/div>\n
\nare scattered in the air,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd the bonds that we have broken<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe can no longer share.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd we sit in our frustration<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLonging for relief<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn wasteful anticipation,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe’re propped by our belief.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe’re the victims of our minds<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd we’re drowning in the times<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nSunk in deep self-pity<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nWe’re a divided city.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou \u2013 the penetrating spark<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou’ve grown so cold and dark<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd I no longer bring<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou flowers in the spring.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd here we sit and smoulder by the fire,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe’re sinking in the mire.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnxious moments causing friction<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe’re just a bad addiction.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nSeeking means of conveyance<\/span><\/div>\n
\nbut love is in abeyance<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTill we rearrange our lives<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd once again play husband and wife.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThen life will have a truer meaning,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd once more I’ll see your eyes a gleaming.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
