Bill Beare - Overlapping Spaces

You say you want to live out your days
A life with good reason as a basis
Well everything exists in its own little space
Along with all the other little spaces
And you may think you have your own little bit
But you can't stop shit from overlapping
'Cos in every little piece of every little part
There's so much other stuff that's happening

Petals on a flower, feathers in a wing
Scales upon a snake, every overlapping thing
Shadows in the city lights, strokes upon a painting
Children laughing, children clapping, every overlapping thing
Rushing wind, screaming through the trees
Church bells ringing, waves upon the beaches
Every overlapping thing
Life's a load of plaited string
All the scattered places
All those overlapping spaces

Maybe you'd love to have some time on your own
Well, it's easy enough; no one's tapping your phone
Off you go, be my guest; all the time you can get
Your solo zone there alone once you get inside your own head

But there in your personal zone
You can't stay forever; you'll have to come home
And there to replace it, I'm sure you will find
Are all those little spaces you left behind
Saying, 'Welcome back sweetheart, back to the oasis
Welcome back sweet darling to all our little spaces
Part of you my dear, all part of you back here'

Overlapping spaces
Covered in every other, traces
Of what's there, everywhere, it amazes me, it's crazy
Ego-sapping, overlapping spaces
