Lay To Rest

Stephen Covell


This life it feels like a bus stop 
People they come and go as they please 
Some days you'll get lucky and meet a new friend 
Some days you find only disease 

This life, well, it feels like a novel 
That look only 3 days to write 
And I could waste all my time writing down rhymes 
That'll never end up sounding right 

But that's real 
This life 
And I feel 
I'm doing alright 

This coast is covered in wonders 
Curled up in a blanket of fog 
Poets and dreamers they made their way here 
Only to find that they were still lost 

This town has turned in to a graveyard 
Where my childhood has been laid to rest 
Like the birds in trees I grew up underneath 
Some hopes soared some fell from the nest
