You are a living Journey song, and I
am nothing more. Your smile
is currency, buying my love and us time,
and you've got plenty to spend.
But I'm not always a good investor,
selling out when you're low,
deaf ears taking inventory.
Blame me as a man, a victim
of wanting to provide. You are
all I have to provide for, and
I am frustrated when I can't.
When you're sad and you think
you're value's falling, I'm desperate
to see a recovery.
We're in decline, you think
when smiles are all disbursed,
but that's when we need them--
when I need you to trust me,
respect me,
not direct me
or dissect me.
Bear today and Bull tomorrow,
I'll get back on top
and you'll let me ride
for another quarter.
