Always missin out

straight as a starlight shine
red as a broken stop sign
black as an eye gone blind
blue as a bird gliding

pretty as a girl i need
little as a hidden meaning
sitting in the poem's sea

some days
i sit and watch you roll
back and forth you know
rockabye baby

so here is it if you enlist
a bigger thought, words and meaning than
you'll get it another way or one
stop and it winds
play and press
ber and am as in color
with twentyfour if you paint by number

sick as a happy gone
what is it worth for nights long
we want it all at once
yeah you're strong to care
when the wrong is write a song
and maybe
there's
a meaning

white as a wide awake
color is fake

cause what you see is less than everything there

i sit and watch you roll
rockabye baby
