Recall

This chapter is trite
I don't want that!
Too much work to revise
I don't want that!
Not all passion is lost
I don't want that!
Just my youth is at cost

Before you speak
Recall what you said
Recall how we held
Recall and I'll tighten the knot

Check the first latch
I don't want that!
Does it let in the gray
I don't want that!
The excitement we lack
I don't want that!
Could be made up in pain

Before you speak
Recall what you said
Recall how we held
Recall and I'll tighten the knot

I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak and I don't think so
I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak where I don't

We did get along
I don't want that!
Common ground not the plea
I don't want that!
If you learn to forgive
I don't want that!
Caution could be replaced

Before you speak
Recall what you said
Recall how we held
Recall and I'll tighten the knot

I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak and I don't think so
I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak and I don't think so
I wish he'd leave today
But his manners speak where I don't
