Distractions Tab

 What is this thing in life
                                        
that persuades me to spend time away from you?

 If you can answer this you can have the moon.
                   
 This is the place to be
                                   
anyway you can see there’s a lovely view.
                                            -
 Why are there always so many other things to do?

                                                 
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
    /                  
when I’m  alone I think of you.
                                 /     
And the life we’d lead if we could only be free
                           
from these distractions.

The postman’s at the door
while the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,
pretend we’re not at home and they’ll disappear.
I want to be with you,
tell me what I can do, nothing is too small
away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.

Distractions, like butterflies are...

Inter:[      /9     ]

I’ll find a peaceful place
far away from the noise of a busy day,
where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.


Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
when I’m alone I think of you,
and the things we’d do if we could only be through
with these distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
when I’m alone I think of you,
And the life we’d lead if we could only be free
form these distractions.
