A scarf to warm
feet are tightly clasped
so tightly woven

in the tall brown grass
fall is here
the cold wind blows

I take another drink
and my cooled blood slows
and I cannot help but wonder why

why I see so many around me cry

cause I'm not one to look back

and blame the past for where I'm at

only now

only now
only now
only now


I've made my share
of fools known follies

and giant falters
of greatest anomaly
life makes life hard

and the boos won't sooth the pain
the friends I make and the pills I take
will only bring the grave

and I cannot help but wonder why
why I see so many around me cry
