Lip Service

I moved away one day
Following a dream of sanity
It took me miles to days away
Days build weeks to months
Missing what was and is nor more
Where have all my friends gone?
Keep in touch we say every day
To friends we make and people we meet
Lip service is cheap for a very long time
Until the rubble pile can grow no more
Lip service is cheap for a very long time
The weight of my cheated world crushes my armor
Now I know as I’ve discovered
My friends are possessors of gold
A wealth of richness in my life
For which a wish to repay
I write a letter to three
In hopes of words of your good health
And days build weeks to months
And all the time wait for a letter
Vanna white should be walking this way
Winning to me is the prize of word
A word not spoken but written down
Forever a memory not forgotten
Instead of any of this
Lip service is cheap for a very long time
Until the rubble pile can grow no more
Lip service is cheap for a very long time
The weight of my cheated world crushes my armor
I’ll write you and right you now
To bring the life news to your mind
And in your heart I’ll be again
What’s shared never to be lost
And pasts maintained and futures created
Be well my friends have a happy long life
I’ll be there in many different ways
To be counted and counted on
As maybe a savior on a bad day
Be well my friend no more Lip service
