Fence - Bombadil

I’m wondering where I stand

Am I the front door or am I the land

That you’re living on

Until you can move along

I’m wondering, wondering where I stand

Could this be your plan?

A blueprint you’ve drafted and understand

With me just a practical afterthought

Placed at the back of the lot

Could this, could this be your plan?

I am a fence in your backyard

Why is it so hard

And it’s hardly love if I can’t let you run

Down to the gate, the latch is undone

I’m thinking of the places I’ve stood

Am I a castle or am I wood

That you’ll paint upon

Until it dries and peels on the lawn

I’m thinking, thinking of the places I’ve stood

Look at all the leaves I’ve stopped

Am I a line am I a spot

That you’ll wish upon

Until I’m downed by wind and rot

Look at, look at all the leaves I’ve stopped

I am a fence in your backyard

Why is it so hard?

And it’s hardly love if I can’t let you run

Down to the gate, the latch is undone

And it’s far enough if I can’t see anyone

Don’t make me wait

The latch is undone

All the things I could be in your life

The closest I’ll ever get

Fills me with regret and it makes no sense

I am a fence in your backyard

Why is it so hard?

And it’s hardly love if I can’t let you run

Down to the gate, the latch is undone

And it’s far enough if I can’t see anyone

Don’t make me wait

The latch is undone
