A Ghost of what you had

Child with the new-born eyes
Simplicity applied
Don't you know that the rules have changed
Everything has been re-arranged
So prepare yourself to fight your corner

Wild as the stormy seas
Bowed as the coastal trees
Open handed you may have been
Welcomed everyone sight unseen
And a trusting nature makes it harder

High in the sonic blue
Clouds of a different hue
Come between you and what you know
Clear a path on the earth below
When it seems that you have gone the wrong way

After a weary day
Nothing you seem to say
Justifies what you have to do
Makes it easy to see the truth
That by now you cannot go your own way
