Half An Orphan

(album: Denis Was A Bird - 2021)

I'm half an orphan
I know it's strange when I say it
But I don't know how put it otherwise

It's now not a problem
When I wonder who to turn to
If ever have a problem
I can't ask you

Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One becomes none
And then you're done

I'm still a cyclist
But with one stabiliser
Now I'm wobbling like
A drunk boy in a storm

I missed the lesson
Where they tell you how keep on
But hey I know a lot
About Henry's wives

Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One becomes none
And then you're done

Rocks become roads
Roads become hellos
Hellos become goodbyes
And then you're done

Mother don't be wild
Don't go chasing the bad guys
Cos I don't have the legs
Let them get away this time
Mother we got life
So don't go for looking for a fight
Cos I don't have the might
To hold them all off

Three becomes two
Two becomes one
One becomes none
And then you're done

Lows becomes highs
Highs have their time
Just like you and I
