Fear & Love

Looking into a life created

A simple thing, yet so complicated

One step forward, two step back

Mouse on a wheel in a big mouse trap

The pitter patter of repeated patterns

Positive, yet you’re so uncertain

A line is drawn and a line is crossed

Slipping up on the under frost

The balance of fear and love

Keeps a good man in line

The skin gets thicker, seizes up

Glimpsing his years in an empty cup

The balance of fear and love

Makes a good girl in time

Shaping the world with a wilted wand

Awaiting the day when the wind may take her

Off her feet

Everyone wants someone to follow

To turn another grey day to yellow

If trust breaks like a lightning bolt

It takes a test to be fixing faults

I’ve heard words fly on electric currents

A look in the eye like an unborn torrent

Does it take a trophy to turn a page

And pass through life as a jilted sage

The balance of fear and love

Keeps a good man in line

The skin gets thicker, seizes up

Glimpsing his years in an empty cup

The balance of fear and love

Makes a good girl in time

Shaping the world with a wilted wand

Awaiting the day when the wind may take her

Off her feet

(Oh, let it rain in hell, let it rain in hell)

Off her feet

The balance of fear and love

Keeps a good man in line

The skin gets thicker, seizes up

Glimpsing his years in an empty cup

The balance of fear and love

Makes a good girl in time

Shaping the world with a wilted wand

Awaiting the day when the wind may take her...
