Brand New Sidewalk

Five years ago

you pressed your hand

into a brand new sidewalk

its well worn now

and though some tried

yours is the only print there

you might not have meant to but

its done you cant take it out

you're shy about what fortune lent you

is that what this is about?

Smile while you can

cause when they find

you're not amused, not really

of what they gave

yes you gave them that power

you might not have meant to but

its done you cant take it back

you cry about where fame sent you

without a plan of attack

five years ago

i warned you, dear

as a concerned admirer

you never new, you never heard

the veil was still in place

thank god you hate to listen

or i would not be here

lifting the veil to kiss you

next to a brand new sidewalk
