“All Around” – music by Trent Boswell
Lyrics
I can’t find it I don’t see it
Though I’ve looked nowhere over
I was certain I’d have found it
By now
Thought I had it once
In my hand like a clover
But it flew away
Somehow
I’ve rubbed out my eyes
Squinting through the dark
But my eyes are too full
Of dreams
Want nothing so much
Thoughts of self not a spark
And I still do not know
What it means
Collecting each one
Not mine in a moment
All tomorrow’s
Forgotten yesterday
Yourself saw you with them
You know of the torment
A sideways hello
Didn’t say
Slippery little thing
So many to climb
Fall so fast and without
A sound
Never had your gift
Of yours all this time
Wrapped tight and spilling
On the ground
All time gone by
Flirting with the dawn
Seeking for a higher
High score
Those things which remain
To this day are long gone
These things are all things
No more
Don’t know why I bother
I bother not to know
It’s never too much
Not to say
A slight tinge of joy
In each thing to show
Everything never came
This way
The secret only shared
Never told never kept
All the smiles that cannot
Be got
Always not moving
Ever happy it wept
In the open it hides
Where it’s not
Close the window my friend
Despite how it looks
It is going to be
A fine day
For it has the good sense
In verbose old books
All words refraining
To say
A slight tiny sting
Four missing leaves of clover
Ending all applause
Curtain bow
Can’t find it don’t see it
Having looked all over
Was certain I’d have lost it
By now
