Machines

Will you remember me,
The way I was, when I was free
An open book that we could read
Together
Will I haunt your dreams
A mocking bird with broken wings
A burned out ???, an empty swing
Forever
Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes
Forget her
Moonlight upon her face
A story book of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place
Together
Will we remember this
The way it was or how it is What we love or what we miss
Forever
Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from whence we’ve cast
And let our boats go sailing past
Untethered
One fine morning…
One fine morning…
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning…
One fine morning…
The machines are gonna cut us down
