Sometime Web Engineer/Almost Philosopher
"sheepdog standing in the rain
bullfrog doing it again
some kind of happiness
is measured out in miles
what makes you think you're something special
when you smile
childlike no one understands
jack knife in your sweaty hands
some kind of innocence
is measured out in years
you don't know what it's like
to listen to your fears
you can talk to me
you-can-talk-to-me
you can talk to me
if you're lonely
you can talk to me"
