On the Attack

(album: Password Is Password - 2020)

It's taken so long, so long to be
I measure the man I hoped I would be
I take a step forward, I take two steps back
Can't help but be bored, unless I'm on the attack
And attacking's alright

We were up on the hill where the blueberries grow
With time to kill I started to fall and it got
Hard to breathe and it got, hard to relax
It's hard to face yourself when you're still busy looking back
And attacking's alright

My love please understand
My love please understand
We're alone in this world
Doing all we can
To find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
And it's getting cold
Honey, please
Try and understand
It's time to love your man

I met a blonde girl, she took me into her bed
I wanted her body, she wanted me dead
On a cool summer evening, I awoke from a dream
Scared of something that was inside of me

My love, please understand
Jessie, my love, please understand
We're alone in this world
Every woman, every man
Trying to find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
And it's getting cold, oh
Honey, please
Try and understand
It's time to love your man
