Leaving the Night Life
I remember when
I lived in the night
One drink to the next
One woman to the other
Always ending the same
As empty as I started
At the bottom of the bottle
Tired of the same type
Nothing but dead ends for the Heart
No reason to stay
These women aren’t worth a dam
It’s time to sleep
To see the woman of my Dreams
New chapter in life
Living in the day
Now these are the women
Worth a dam
No bottle in sight
Happy in the light
Sad to look back
On all the time wasted
Grow up
Play time is over
My true love lives in the light
I’ll find her soon
Mean time
I remain a ghost
Under the nose
Of the world I once ruled
And left behind
Right in front of them
Yet they have not noticed
I feel sorry for them
Their blind to their future
Making the same mistakes
I’m over it
Over it all
The night life can rest easy under the stars
Missing the light
But I’ll live instead
Admiring the things
That bring true happiness
In the light
