Counted On Sweetness - The Wrens

«i was born too soon» is how my grave will read

lived to 35 but died at 17

it took an hour or so to reach the border as planned

a few miles from here i would never know

i’ll confess what i’ve done in time

lived through worse and never cared for anyone

they never seemed to mind for me

i left before they ever knew that i was gone

it’s the facts blood knows laid out in front of you

tied up in foolish news waiting for a view

all the time i’ve been waiting by them

look at them they can’t find me

in walked the left to lose / chained down to please a few

i wonder who they’ll choose / i wonder who

in whispered to my ear, «what will you do until then»

dream all you want me dear it’s a fitting an end.
