I FOUND HER DIARY
UNDERNEATH A TREE
AND STARTED READING
ABOUT ME
THE WORDS
SHE'D WRITTEN
TOOK ME BY SURPRISE
YOU'D NEVER READ THEM
IN HER EYES
THEY SAID THAT
SHE HAD FOUND
THE LOVE SHE'D WAITED
FOR
WOULDN'T
YOU KNOW IT
SHE WOULDN'T
SHOW IT
THEN SHE CONFRONTED
WITH THE WRITING
THERE
SIMPLY PRETENDED
NOT TO CARE
I PASSED IT OFF
AS JUST IN
KEEPING WITH
HER TOTAL
DISCONCERTING AIR
AND THOUGH
SHE TRIED TO HIDE
THE LOVE THAT
SHE DENIED
WOULDN'T YOU
KNOW IT
SHE WOULDN'T
SHOW IT
AND AS I GO
THROUGH MY LIFE
I WILL GIVE TO HER
MY WIFE
ALL THE SWEET THINGS
I CAN FIND
I FOUND HER DIARY
UNDERNEATH A TREE
AND STARTED READING
ABOUT ME
THE WORDS BEGAN
TO STICK
AND TEARS TO FLOW
HER MEANING NOW
WAS CLEAR TO SEE
THE LOVE
SHE'D WAITED FOR
WAS SOMEONE ELSE
NOT ME
WOULDN'T YOU
KNOW IT
SHE WOULDN'T
SHOW IT
AND AS I GO THROUGH
MY LIFE
I WILL WISH FOR HER
HIS WIFE
ALL THE SWEET THINGS
SHE CAN FIND
ALL THE SWEET THINGS
THEY CAN FIND
