SANDY, YOU’RE IN THE PAST TENSE NOW<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel, Coventry, September 1969<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nYour face is like a heavenly palace<\/span>
\nYour eyes, so sympathetic and wise.<\/span>
\nNow down the long dark and lonely track I tread,<\/span>
\nWearily, with my burdens on my back.<\/span>
\nSomeone’s turned the light off<\/span>
\nand the current cannot flow.<\/span>
\nSandy, You’re in the past tense now.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI cannot ride the train of life alone.<\/span>
\nI am a pebble but was a larger stone.<\/span>
\nI am a king that’s been dethroned.<\/span>
\nA dog on the street that’s been disowned.<\/span>
\nSomeone turned the switch off<\/span>
\nand the current cannot flow<\/span>
\nSandy, you’re in the past tense now.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe bridge of continuity has opened wide and angry jaws.<\/span>
\nOur romance was founded on subsiding shores.<\/span>
\nU-p the golden spiral staircase I did ascend.<\/span>
\nBut the air grew thin on oxygen<\/span>
\nand forced us to descend.<\/span>
\nSandy, you’re in the past tense now.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAnd now, as i look over the bombed sight<\/span>
\nof my present life; rubble scattered, rats run rife.<\/span>
\nTears won;t clear away the mess.<\/span>
\ntears won;t lead to happiness.<\/span>
\nSomeone’s chopped the trees down<\/span>
\nand the winds of freedom blow.<\/span>
\nSandy, You’re in the past tense now.<\/span>
\nSomeone’s turned the switch off<\/span>
\nand the current cannot flow<\/span>
\nSandy, you’re in the past tense now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
