The Biggest Mistake

I see your face
As I fall asleep
And I feel your place
Here beside me
And oh for Pete’s sake
Am I just another politician on the take
I lie awake
Wondering did I just make the biggest mistake
And the puddles are mirrors of this world turned upside down
And through the ripples I can see you smiling out
And when it starts raining I take a walk round town
And in the patter I wonder who’s more sorry now
Oh, sidewalks are sparkling
As the moon arrives
And I keep muddling on through
As though I’ve got a million lives
And oh for Pete’s sake
Am I just a cartoon kid who’s stepping on a rake
I lie awake
Wondering did I just make the biggest mistake
And the mirrors are covered inside your grandma’s house
And she looks so comfy just where she’s lying now
And the windows are sprinkled with the rain that’s coming down
And through the shutters I can see her flying out
Out
Silently, solemnly
Stealing away from another bad scene
And I am suddenly
Taken by what an ass I’ve been
And oh for Pete’s sake
Am I just another martyr burning at the stake
I lie awake
Wondering did I just make the biggest mistake
