TJ Eckleberg - Menagerie

I am walking with the wistful and the weary
Walking with the uninspired
I am walking with the formerly elegant and the wired
I am walking with the ones who can't carry themselves
The ones who said too much at dinner
I am walking with the losers who wish they were winners

I am walking like a marionette
I am walking like I can't let go and won't forget
I am walking like I've been walking for a very long time
Walking like I was out of sight and out of mind

When you come back let me know

The morning girl is bleary, the twilight boy has lost his socks
The old lady with the serene scarf
Is doing her best not to worry and not to get cross

And we are all the meek and mild
And we are all the desperate and the wild
And aren't we all the baby child?

When you come back let me know

We thought the rain would stop until the waters came up higher
We thought to trust our shelters and stay closer to the fire
And weren't all surprised to realise the little we had was not nearly enough
And aren't we all nervous and hopeful
That the rain won't keep on falling and the waves won't be too rough?

And aren't we all the broken and the broken hearted?
And aren't we all the nearly and the dearly departed?
And aren't we all just trying to find a safe way home?

And the howling of the wolves reminds us
Not all will be dry, not all will be warm

And the howling of the wolves reminds us
There will be another storm
