Gordon David (1st September 1959 / Edinburgh)
A Short Life
Some thoughtful words I wish to send
To say goodbye to you my friend
Before this book comes to an end
Happy thoughts, as we wave bye-bye
Watch falling stars before they die
No more dark clouds up in my sky
These words may mean nothing to you
Needing to know what should I do
When my thoughts leave me feeling blue
Feeling blue of that there’s no doubt
Staying silent wanting to shout
“WHAT THE HELL IS LIFE ALL ABOUT”
All my dreams, now pie in the sky
Try to explain, then wonder why
You have come here to watch me die
